Stoneleigh Reserve Park in Logan Reserve | Unique Country Farm Fun

Stoneleigh Reserve Park is a unique farm-themed park where Brisbane Kids can engage in imaginative play. Inspired by Logan Reserves’ country landscape and rich farming history, Stoneleigh Reserve Park has various unique farmyard features alongside traditional playground equipment.  

Stoneleigh Reserve Park playground

There are small paddocks where resident (artificial) animals, Mootilda the cow and several chickens reside under the shady branches of a fig tree. Active kids will love climbing the fig tree, jumping between the stepping stones or soaring through the air on the double swing set. Around the Farmyard play area are hopscotch, foursquare and word search games that will keep older children busy. 

The large playground fort includes a large twisting tunnel slide, a smaller tunnel slide, climbing walls and nets, windows and imaginative play features such as binoculars, a hammock and lookout platforms. There’s also a second swing set with 3 swings, including a nest swing and a Joey swing (where a parent or older sibling can swing facing a younger child). There’s also a water pump, wobbly bridge, frog-themed rockers and permanent timber sun lounges in this playground section. 

On the other side is a dry rocky creek bed that passes under a bridge to explore. Weaving around the park is a network of paths that can be followed in a loop around the lagoon, providing plenty of space to practice bike, scooter and skateboard skills. 

Between the Farmyard and the playground is the Farmhouse, a covered picnic area with one electric barbecue, a large table with bench seating, and a low table with bench seating for children. This area provides the perfect place to relax and unwind with a family BBQ (although, frustratingly, there are no toilets).  The pond in the middle of the park is home to many ducks and birds.

The Paddock area is on the opposite side of the pond to the play area is a sportsman paradise with the main feature a large playing field with distance markers, a combination rugby and soccer goals and a cricket pitch. The gym area with a good range of exercise equipment is sitting alongside the playing field. There’s also a basketball half-court for 

There is some permanent fencing around the pond on the farmyard side and on the paddock side the landscape is designed to keep little explorers out of the water but supervision is required as the water is still accessible. 

Imagination Factor

Stoneleigh Reserve’s natural approach allows Brisbane Kids to use the environment and their imagination to make their own games. Little farmers can tend to the animals and do other farm chores around the Farmyard or make rock piles in the dry creek bed. Older kids will be entertained playing hopscotch or wordsearch, kicking a ball around, climbing the fig tree or going for a ride.

The water pump is great for future engineers and the climbing structure could be anything from a pirate ship, a space shuttle and the leaf decorations encourage Brisbane Kids to view it as a treehouse. 

Accessibility at Stoneleigh Reserve Park

The Farmyard area of the park is not wheelchair accessible but the main paths leading from the road and around the park are wide and the Farmhouse area is accessible. Street parking is available along Stoneleigh Reserve Boulevard or alternatively the Loganlea and Kingston train stations are nearby. There are several water taps with bubblers and dog bowls throughout the park. The larger swing set is over soft fall, however much of this playground is over a sand base. Unfortunately there are no toilets and it’s not fully fenced.
