A sand and water play area will keep the kids occupied for hours. Popular for birthday parties, there is a large picnic table shelter with bbqs, tables and bench seats. Unfortunately the playground will rely on natural shade from trees so until they grow, it can be quite hot. Toilet facilities are available at the nearby community centre.
	Bim’bimba Park, Pimpama This park encompasses a large outdoor amphitheatre, toddler play space, playground, teen hangout and basketball court – all connected by a series of entwining paths perfect for bike riding. A lot of the play equipment is centred around climbing however, which makes a lot of the equipment unsuitable for toddlers, so this park is better for the older kids parties. There is a dedicated toddler play space, but this also is focused on climbing and for those not so great on their feet, it may prove too difficult for them. Picnic tables and toilets are available, but there is little natural shade so it can get hot here.

This playground is very popular for birthday parties, with great facilities including electric barbeques, covered seating areas, drinking fountains and toilets. Parking is super easy all along the main street too.
	The Backyard, Coomera The highlight of The Backyard, particularly on hot Gold Coast summer days, is the water play area! Designed for kids of all ages, but definitely catering more towards under 7’s, kids can splash in ankle to knee deep water, pump the water pumps, dodge squirting frogs, spin water wheels and explore the winding streams of water. Perfectly designed to protect the kiddies, it features big shade sails and grassy banks, and has deck chairs for the adults. Change rooms are right beside the water area, and the final piece that makes this spot a real favourite for families, particularly for birthday parties, is the inclusion of barbeque facilities and tables!
