Jubilee Park

Welcome to Jubilee Park in Bardon, Australia! This charming establishment is a must-visit for families with young children. Nestled under a collection of huge, leafy trees, Jubilee Park offers a well-shaded playground that is perfect for toddlers.

Spanning over two hectares, this popular North Brisbane park features the Brian McGrath Playground and Ernie Toovey cricket oval. The playground itself is generously sized and offers a delightful mix of ground-level activities, including musical instruments, developmental games, climbing structures, spinners, see-saws, and swings.

One of the highlights of Jubilee Park is the "Jubilee Café," a pretend café nook complete with a cash register for bark chip currency, scales, and mugs and spoons to spark imaginative play. The playground has received various upgrades over time, resulting in a fascinating combination of old and new equipment with different color schemes. The most recent addition is the green and grey playground, designed for more advanced climbers with monkey bars, a spider's web net, a bridge, and a rock climbing wall.

The park is surrounded by three suburban roads, but the playground is partially protected with barriers. Picnic tables and benches located near the playground offer a pleasant spot to relax under the shade of the trees. Additionally, an outdoor gym and a large cricket oval provide ample space for active living, although BBQ facilities are not available.

If you're looking to explore more of the area, a nice, flat bike path runs along the Empress Terrace side of the parklands, connecting to Fletcher Parade Park. Here, you'll find a smaller, older playground that offers entertainment for younger children.

Jubilee Park in Bardon rivals The Enchanted Forest in Ashgrove in terms of charm, but it is more spacious and caters to a wider range of ages. Whether your little ones are mini maestros or aspiring shopkeepers, they will find plenty of enjoyment in Jubilee Park. The percussion instruments and play cafe are perfect for imaginative play, while the spider's web and slides offer hours of excitement.

Accessible toilets are available on the Crown Street side of the parklands, approximately 200 meters from the playground. The terrain is completely level, making it suitable for children as young as 12 months old. However, there is no direct pathway connecting the playground to the toilets. Please note that there is no specific special needs equipment in Jubilee Park.
