Four brand-new parks and playgrounds are underway for City of Moreton Bay.
From mid-2025, construction will begin on new parks in Deception Bay, Griffin and Morayfield, with more than $1.9 million invested to deliver high-quality open spaces for local families.
Mayor Peter Flannery said the parks would be up and running before the end of the year, creating more quality open spaces for the community.
“Our City is experiencing significant growth, so we are committed to delivering more parks and open spaces that support healthy, active lifestyles and create places for families to spend quality time together,” he said.
“Every new park is an investment in our City’s liveability and another step towards meeting the needs of our current residents as well as supporting future growth.”
What’s Coming to Deception Bay, Griffin, and Morayfield
Councillor Sandra Ruck (Division 5) said she was excited to see the new park being delivered at Billabong Place in Deception Bay.
“It will provide plenty of options for fun and play, relaxation, exercise, recreation and meeting spaces,” she said.
Councillor Mark Booth (Division 2) said the new park at Greenshank Court in Deception Bay would be a fantastic addition to the area, offering modern-day play equipment, picnic spaces and plenty of shade.
“Our parks and green spaces are where families make memories, friends come together and people of all ages enjoy the outdoors,” he said.
Construction is currently underway for the new park at Riverview Parkway in Griffin, which Councillor Yvonne Barlow (Division 7) said would complement the natural setting of the North Pine River.
“Covering almost a hectare, this park will offer something for everyone, from open green space and picnic spots to a shaded playground with equipment for toddlers through to school-aged kids, including some all-abilities features,”she said.
In Morayfield, Councillor Tony Latter said the Crowe Road playground would help meet the needs of many local families by offering play equipment to suit young children through to school age.
All construction timelines are subject to weather and unforeseen delays.
