Gold Coast parks for early walkers
Heading to a playground with an early walker can often be a difficult task - the play equipment is too advanced, the play surface not baby friendly, the list goes on. One of the most common questions I'm asked is where are the best parks to visit with little ones who are just starting to coast around holding on to things, or have started toddling around but aren't confident on their feet. Well, this list is for you! Here is my list of playgrounds that cater for the 10mth - 2 year age group.

Little Kickers Gold Coast
For many families, the first taste of team sports is through soccer! It's generally seen as a safe and fun option for little ones to get started in the world of sport, and it's never been more popular. Little Kickers Gold Coast is a soccer skills program, that also combines with important early learning concepts such as colour and number recognition, sharing, following instructions and using imagination. They teach soccer in a fun, pressure-free environment that gives children a positive introduction to sport as a whole, not just soccer!
