One of the first things I learnt as a fledgling parent, was that getting out and about in the sunshine is one of the best ways to burn off energy, clear your head and generally feel better about the world.

One of the first things I learnt as a fledgling parent, was that getting out and about in the sunshine is one of the best ways to burn off energy, clear your head and generally feel better about the world.

Head out to the park and let them run free.
Kids bickering and squabbling over absolutely nothing?
Grab a frisbee or a footy and scoot down to your closest oval.
So, once we figured out this little chestnut, we became huge fans of parks and playgrounds.
As soon as cabin fever started to set in, we’d pack up and decamp to the nearest park.
Within minutes we would all feel a little better.
Looking back, I think we even chose our homes over the years based on proximity to a good coffee shop (or two) and to parks and gorgeous green spaces.
So here we are now settling in to our new home town, sunny Bris-Vegas, and exploring new parks and places to play.
So far, thanks to friends, super helpful websites (try Brisbane Kids and Kidspot)and exploring we have discovered a couple of gems…
- the fantastic Underwood Park complete with flying fox, weirdly cool Spielart Funderwood timber playground, monorail…
- the super sweet Enchanted Forest, which kept all four of the kids amused for a couple of hours. It’s probably better suited to littlies with a love of fairies, but my older kids still had a ball there.
- our local park (you know the type, smallish, huge open grassy bit nearby, a couple of well-loved trees)
Do you have a fave local park? Feel free to share!
Enjoy xx
