A brand-new mountain slide and erosion-resistant play mound are now open to the public following the successful revitalisation of Grande Park in Springfield Lakes.
A Fresh Spin on Outdoor Play

Out with the old and in with the innovative. The local neighbourhood gathering spot has replaced an ageing play mound with a custom-built mountain slide tailored specifically for children aged three to five.
Why the sudden change? The previous structure simply reached the end of its functional life. Local leaders used the replacement project as an opportunity to fix persistent stormwater and erosion challenges while introducing tightly arranged hardwood timber logs of varying heights to test kids’ balance.
Wheels, Courts, and Stages
How do you keep an entire community active across multiple generations? You build a park that does double duty. Beyond the updated play zone, residents can utilise lighted tennis courts, basketball and netball areas, and a community performance stage.
Young cyclists have a dedicated traffic safety learning track complete with actual street signs, road markings, and concrete paths to master the rules of the road. Fancy a bigger adrenaline rush? A dirt BMX and mountain bike track sits nearby for riders eager to hone their cornering and jumping skills.
Trails and Tail-Wagging Amenities
What happens when the afternoon calls for a longer trek? Walking paths seamlessly connect the park grounds to nearby bushland trails. Dog owners also get a win here, with a dedicated off-leash exercise zone positioned just across the road at 57 Grande Avenue. Shade sails are even slated for installation over the playground equipment in the coming months, ensuring year-round comfort for everyone who visits.
