LIONS PARK

Public BBQ

Lions Park in Helensvale features genuinely unique adventure playground equipment that breaks the mould of standard park offerings, including a parent-baby swing that actually works. The shaded environment provides blessed relief during Queensland summers, with BBQ facilities and toilets rounding out the practical amenities. However, recent incidents involving syringe debris found on grounds and in toilets have raised serious safety concerns, despite disposal facilities being available. The playground's climbing challenges better suit older children, though younger ones find plenty to explore. When functioning properly, this park excels at providing engaging play experiences alongside standard picnic facilities. The adventure equipment sets it apart from cookie-cutter alternatives, explaining why local families persist despite safety worries. Limited swings can disappoint during busy periods, and the concerning drug paraphernalia discoveries demand vigilance. Many families still rate this among Helensvale's better-equipped parks, particularly for those seeking playground experiences beyond the ordinary.
