This park is OK but it could do with some shelter over the playground and a bit of a makeover as it is a bit run down. Still a good place to stop to break the drive.

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.

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.
