Parks

The Gladstone Region is well served by an extensive network of parks and recreation areas just waiting to be discovered, so pack a picnic, grab some friends and family and enjoy the region's natural areas.

The Park listing can provide you with information on Council's more popular parks and the facilities that are available at each location. Facilities such as playground equipment, BBQs, natural areas, shelters and picnic areas are free for the public to use on a shared basis and cannot be reserved.

The region's central location means that parks range from beach locations to river foreshores, bush reserves and botanical collections. Discover what your 'Region of Choice' has to offer by clicking on the images below.

Regional parks guide

Council has released a Regional Parks Guide, a glossy brochure detailing everything you need to know about Gladstone Region's major parklands.

The user-friendly guide also includes handy information on local fitness stations, skate facilities, camping grounds, dog off-leash areas and dog free zones, fitness trails and TAngler bins.

Download the Regional Parks Guide, view the Regional Parks Guide online, or grab a copy from any Council Office or Rural Transaction Centre.

Liberty Swing

The Liberty Swing was developed to allow people in wheelchairs the opportunity to enjoy the fun and recreation of swinging.

Gladstone Regional Council is pleased to offer residents this award-winning facility at two of its parks; Millennium Esplanade, Tannum Sands and Hazelbrook Park, Calliope.

The swing meets all the relevant Australian safety standards to ensure a safe, fun and enjoyable experience is had by all participants.

The Liberty Swing fully encloses a wheelchair and features an access ramp, wheel locking mechanism and safety harness, allowing a maximum swing height - that is, really swinging, not just rocking back and forth.

Other features include:

Ramp access
Wheel locking mechanism
Safety harness
Pop up seat
Easy to use

Under the Variety Club's safety regulations, the swing is fenced and locked, and features a comprehensive set of safety instructions and operational diagrams.

This is a free service; however, a carer must understand the operation instructions prior to use and be in attendance at all times, enclosure gates to remain closed and report any damage to Council by phoning (07) 4970 0700.

Changing Places® Restroom

In addition to and separate from standard accessible (disabled cubicle) toilets, Lions Park, Gladstone features a Changing Places® Restroom - a first for our Gladstone Region.

A specialised facility, the Changing Places® Restroom provides suitable toilets for people with high support needs and those with a disability who cannot use standard accessible toilets.

Features of the Changing Places® Restroom include a toilet pan; an adult-sized electric height adjustable change table; a ceiling hoist; sufficient space; and a safe, clean environment.

The Lions Park facility is an accredited Changing Places® facility in Australia and is included on an interactive toilet map which lists all Changing Places facilities in Australia.

To protect the facility from misuse or vandalism, the facility is accessed by a registered Master Locksmiths Access Key (MLAK). This is a master key that fits into specifically designed locks allowing 24/7 access to a network of public toilets nationwide.

MLAK are available for purchase (eligibility requirements apply) from the Master Locksmiths Association of Australasia. To apply and purchase MLAK online go to www.masterlocksmiths.com.au/mlak.php or phone (03) 9338 8822.

Council has MLAK keys, free of charge, available to local community organisations/service providers to distribute. These keys also provide access to the Liberty Swings located at Millennium Esplanade in Tannum and Hazelbrook Park in Calliope.

Keys can be collected from Council’s Community Engagement Centre, 142 Goondoon Street, Gladstone.

For more information, call the Community Engagement Centre on (07) 4976 6300.
