A new suburb/estate earlier this year opened up on the road out to Tamborine called Yarrabilba. A new family based community (houses on top of each other, lol) called for a fabulous new park (in an attempt to rival Robelle Domain, I guess!) and with that came the construction of Darlington Parklands.
I have avoided the masses over the warmer months, the novelty of such a park (brand new equipment, water park area, FREE FREE FREE) has attracted a lot of people who are looking for something new, and anyone who knows me knows that I hate crowded places like that with kids. And water. I hate water. And sand. Good god, sand... I hate it. And so many parks around here are just... dirty.
Anyway, we ended up visiting the other day, due to a birthday party, and I must say that I am pretty impressed. It's new, so it's clean. They have awesome equipment - your usual playgrounds, with cool slides. A double flying fox, awesome spider web climbing frame, a great swing set. Although my only issue is there is no bucket seat style so Memphis will not get a go on a swing there until he is much larger (I am talking 2+). There are heaps of under cover areas and tables. There's a great water area, shallow enough for all ages... fountains etc. FREE WI-FI!!!! Pretty great park all in all. We will go back, that is for sure!
