North Brisbane Area Parks
Brisbane's northern suburbs and the City of Moreton Bay are full of good party parks, from shady local playgrounds in Kedron and Ascot to big foreshore parks at Redcliffe, Scarborough and Bribie Island.
Each guide below covers the playground, shelters, barbecues, toilets and parking, plus a map and the council rules that apply. Parks in the list are a mix of Brisbane City Council and City of Moreton Bay parks, so check which council looks after yours.
Council permits at a glance
Brisbane City Council: a party with a jumping castle in a Council park needs Council's permission under the Public Land and Council Assets Local Law 2014. If you want a set area to yourselves, you can book a park site for $217.55 per hour (two-hour minimum). Apply at least 5 working days ahead for a booking, or 10 working days if you need permission. Barbecues, other shelters and playgrounds can't be booked. See Council's book a park site page or call 07 3403 8888.
City of Moreton Bay: an inflatable jumping castle counts as an amusement device, so a party with one needs event approval through Council's Events Local Law application, not the simpler small-gathering or low-risk options. See Council's planning an event page or call (07) 3205 0555.
Rules can change, so always check with the council before you book. Each park guide has the details for that park.
