  • AboutBrisbane Kids Creative was created by me! Ngaire Stirling. I wont pretend to talk in the third person about myself, instead let me tell you a bit about me and how 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came about. At the time the domain name 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came up for purchase I was a stay at home mum in the middle of a degree centred around journalism and PR. a couple of years earlier I had been contemplating returning to my previous career in marketing management and for a while I even tried. 3 months into a new role and it was clear that I had no passion for my old life and to make the decision to quit easier, my almost 2 year old at the time was not coping with childcare. So, as a family we made the decision for me to return to becoming a stay at home mum. About 1 years later or so.. 110.232.142.129/~brisba22 came up for sale. My friends had often commented on my ability to know exactly what was happening in Brisbane for kids. I had my son enrolled in some awesome activities and we often visited some great destinations. I loved finding fun things for us to do…

Melrose Park at Wooloowin

Last Updated: May 15, 2020
melrose park woollowin

Melrose Park in Wooloowin is perfect for bike, scooter and skateboard riding, whilst also having plenty of equipment and lots of grass for free play.

Melrose Park Playground

Melrose Park is a Brisbane park close to the CBD featuring a playground suitable for all ages.  It has good paths for riding bikes and scooters and a mini traffic track for kids to learn about road signs and how to ride. The playground features a range of activities for children including swings, a balance beam, monkey bars, a flying fox, a fireman’s pole, a chunky abacus and a slide. 

Melrose Park also features a basketball court, skate ramp, cricket nets, and fitness equipment.  There is also big open field which is great for kicking a football, flying a kite or just chasing the birds.

Imagination Factor

Melrose park is perfect for bike and scooter riding, either on the mini traffic track (awesome for truck drivers and postmen) or on the flat bike paths. Along with the skate bowl for beginner skateboarders, Melrose Park provides several chances for youngsters honing their riding skills. Kids can also enjoy soaring through the skies on the flying fox or simply running free on the grassy oval.

Accessibility

Melrose Park is not fully fenced but there are a lot of trees and the section of Roseleigh Street in front of the main play area is fenced.  There are three covered tables (two with lights) and BBQ facilities.  There is also a toilet block on the far side of the park. For those parents that would like to have a coffee while their children play, you will find a good coffee shop one block down on Rose.
