Gordon Park Playground Park, Gordon Park
Gordon Park Playground Park is a Brisbane City Council park in Gordon Park, with a playground and barbecues. We've delivered party hire here before, so we know the park. Here's what to know before you plan a party there.
Having a party at Gordon Park Playground Park
Gordon Park Playground Park doesn't have one of Council's bookable park sites, so the shelters, barbecues and playground are shared and first come, first served. Get there early on weekends to claim a good spot. There are no public toilets listed for this park, so plan for that with young kids.
About the park
Council calls it Gordon Park Playground Park, on Khartoum Street, but many locals know it as Khartoum Park. There is a playground, picnic and barbecue facilities and a shelter. There are no toilets or taps, so bring water.
How to get there and parking
Gordon Park Playground Park is at 55 Khartoum Street, Gordon Park. Allow time to find a park close to where you're setting up, and tell us the exact spot so we can plan the carry-in.
Good to know
- Power: Council power is only available where there's an outlet, and it has to be arranged with your booking at $31.55 per outlet per day. Otherwise, add a generator to your hire.
- Pegs and surfaces: Tell us whether the castle is going on grass or a hard surface so we can bring sandbags if needed.
- 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
Brisbane City Council needs to give permission for a party with a jumping castle in one of its parks, under the Public Land and Council Assets Local Law 2014. If you want a set area to yourselves, you can book a park site. It costs $217.55 per hour with a two-hour minimum, and sites are generally available from 8am to 7pm. Apply at least 5 working days ahead for a booking, or 10 working days if you need permission. Council aims to reply within 10 business days. Barbecues, other shelters and playgrounds can't be booked and are always shared. Council power, where there is an outlet, costs $31.55 per outlet per day. Vehicle access needs approval and a $110 key bond, and Council may ask for a security bond. Larger or higher-risk events may need $20 million public liability insurance. For questions, call Council on 07 3403 8888.
