Palm Beach Parklands is, like, our top pick for parks. We rolled through there last time, and it was quite old-school, but now it’s all spruced up. They’ve turned the whole joint into a pirate ship, and it’s great for kids over four.

There are climbing stuff, including an epic 8-meter slide!

They’ve also added lookout spots, telescopes, treasure maps, cannons, and treasure chests – all the small stuff is on point.

Plus, it’s right by the beach, with amazing views, and the water’s chill, so kids can have a safe splash.

There’s even a café in the mix with some tasty, budget-friendly bites, making it the perfect place to kick it all day.

And they’ve got BBQ gear, too!

Address: Palm Beach Parklands 945 Gold Coast Highway, Palm Beach.
