Shipwreck Park in Hilbert spans 6.6 hectares and features kick about ovals, BBQ facilities and a dog park but it's most outstanding feature is the 30-metre ship wreck structure which underpins the fully fenced, inclusive, all abilities Play Space designed in consultation with the Touched by Olivia Foundation.
The ship has run aground among the rocks, spilling its cargo and creating a raft of opportunities for the kids to fire up their imagination climbing ropes and ladders, scooting down slides, crossing walkways or riding up and down on the "elevators". The ship design features decks at different levels, a helm, communication pipes and a host of other hidden features. You will end up playing a game of hide and seek as it is impossible to keep eyes on the kids as they move in and out and around the ship!
The playground has a dedicated toddler area, sand and water play, sensory and musical play, inground trampolines, swings and a flying fox. Outside the fenced playground is a large court area including ping pong tables, fitness equipment and bike and scooter paths. There is ample parking, picnic shelters and barbecues, toilet facilities and the Mooba Cafe.
