Scarborough Beach is excellent and heaps of fun. Great for fish and chips lunch there is a really good place across the road from the park.

Pine Rivers Park is good as well for older kids (3yrs+) and has a maze and bike things that run on a track around the maze. Keep an eye on the littlies though as it does run around near Gympie Road.

My son loves Pine Rivers Park. There is alot of different equipment that the normal parks don't have including the maze and bikes on tracks.

I agree that this park is probably for children 3+ and you do need to be careful because it is close to a main road but it also has a gated area.

Hope this helps
