Bob Gamble Park, Ipswich

Bob Gamble Park is a park in Ipswich, in the Ipswich area, with a playground, open grass and picnic shelters. Kids can run around while the adults set up nearby, which makes it a handy spot for a birthday party or family get-together.

Having a party at Bob Gamble Park

There are no bookable areas listed, so shelters and tables work on a first-come, first-served basis. Arrive early on weekends to get a good spot. There is open grass for games and room to set up party equipment, though it's worth checking the ground is level before you commit to a spot.

Part of River Heart Parklands (Stage 2), the park has a zero-depth water park, a spider-web climbing frame, a 25-metre flying fox and a football field-sized Discovery Forest with forts, a bridge over a dry creek bed, carved wooden totems and balance beams. A boardwalk gives views of the Bremer River.
