We love a themed playground and Carindale Recreation Reserve is just that, inspired by outer space.

The shaded playground is best suited to kids under 6 years old and is fondly known as ‘Rocket Park’ by local Brisbane families because of its centrepiece rocket ship. Sit back Mums, watch the kids climbing up and blasting out down the slide over and over. Inside the rocket is a control board to really get imaginations fired up.

Other surrounding play equipment includes a pretend play moon buggy car stuck in the sand pit, space themed activity boards, multiple swing sets, climbing mounds, see-saw and a rope climbing pyramid.

There’s a lovely grassy patch to kick a ball or throw a frisbee, bbq facilities and picnic tables too.
