Rotary Park, Mudgeeraba
Rotary Park at Mudgeeraba is only small, but it's in the centre of everything so very popular for families! Fitting with its historic location, the playground is designed to resemble a steam train Carriages with wheels are all linked together, and you'll find steering wheels and a steam engine chimney too! My 3yo loved all the bridges, tunnels and staircases linking everything together, as well as the pretend train tracks running through the middle.

Easy Gold Coast walks to take with the kids
The Gold Coast is home to heaps of fabulous spots to take the family for a walk! Now more than ever, families are looking for options that get them out of the house, but also allow them to stick to the outdoors and keep away from the crowds. I've pulled together a list of 16 places to take an easy walk with the kids, and many of them would be perfect for bikes or scooters, most have a playground involved, and some even have animals to spot!
