Known to locals as "Pirate Park" this beauty was renovated in 2022 and does not disappoint! As the name suggests it has a pirate ship theme, with multiple play areas for different age groups. Built in seating areas around the playground also make it a comfortable spot to sit and watch the kiddos - if you don't end up joining them! A big lawn area surrounds this playground, as well as being on the banks of the beautiful Currumbin creek. It's a winner.

The fact that this is a $5million adventure playground, says it all. Jam-packed with exciting areas including in-ground trampolines, water play, rock climbing walls, slides and a focus on ocean preservation with sea life features and facts found throughout. This playground appeals to all ages, with its main feature being a giant spiral tower. The netted skywalk is sure to challenge the older kids and the younger ones will love the boat with shopfront and mini diggers. There is also an adaptive swing - with water views! Definitely worth a visit.

A little bit off the beaten track, but worth the trip. The centrepiece of the adventure playground is the large windmill with mega slide. Wrapping around the entire playground space is a creek bed with water play elements. The water play area features water pumps, troughs and ramps, encouraging the kids to build natural channels for the water to flow. A wide concrete path circles the playground, with a few ramps and jumps built in for scooter riding. Lots of shaded seating and bbq areas make it a great spot for a day trip.
