Having a party at Harold Kielly Park

Harold Kielly 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.

About the park

Council's open data and OpenStreetMap show 2 playgrounds, a barbecue and public toilets in the park, which covers about 4.4 hectares. We haven't been to this park ourselves, so have a quick look before party day to pick your spot.

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.
