About the park

Good to know

  • Power: Don't count on power in the park. Ask us about adding a generator to your hire.
  • Pegs and surfaces: Council's conditions for commercial activity in parks say operators can't put stakes or pegs into the ground, so we secure castles with sandbags or weights.
  • Weather: Bring shade and plenty of water on hot days. We can't run castles in strong wind or rain.

Council permission and park bookings

Redland City Council says you need to book a park for a party with 50 or more people, or if you have entertainment run by a business, such as a jumping castle. The operator must have $20 million public liability insurance and be there the whole time, and you need to show proof of that insurance when you book. A booking doesn't give you exclusive use of the park, and barbecues and tables can't be booked. Council's rules for small children's party entertainment say a jumping castle should be no bigger than 30 square metres, at least 10 metres from playgrounds, shelters and barbecues, and outside tree drip lines. For questions, call Council on (07) 3829 8999.
