Facilities

Old small toilet block

It gets a high rating mainly because of the big shade trees and our kids have had fun with a lot of their friends at this park over the years.

They enjoy the range of equipment on offer.

Settlement Park

Beerwah

Address : About 2740 Old Gympie Road, Beerwah

Facilities

Small roadside park with a small amount of play equipment for younger local kids.
Large open field for running around.
Large trees that look like they would be great for the older kids to climb in.
1 Shelter with picnic table

Family Rating : Not Rated Yet

We haven't taken the kids there yet but I told them about the good climbing trees and they are pretty keen as they like a bit of a climb.

Not really any parking and is more designed for those in the immediate area to walk to and it is only a minutes walk from the Beerwah Primary School.

Non that I could see but it does have same small lakes/dams and a open field.

This is just a little park, mainly for the residents close by and of course for kids coming out of the Kindy, which is just next door.
