A $3.5 million community space, and first park, in a master-planned community north of Brisbane is now welcoming locals.
Stockland Senior Development Manager Dan Nay said Glider Park, a one-hectare space in Morayfield’s Kinma Valley, was a new family destination and marked an important milestone for the growing community.
“For the hundreds of families preparing to settle in over the coming months, Glider Park is a welcoming first space to connect and feel part of the community,” Mr Nay said.
“More than 30 per cent of Kinma Valley is dedicated to open space. Glider Park is the first of many proposed parks, green corridors and natural areas that will shape the community’s lifestyle for years to come.”
He said a free opening event would be held on Saturday, November 22, when families could explore the play spaces, shaded picnic areas, and cultural storytelling woven throughout its design.
“The event will feature a traditional welcome and dance, live music, family activities, face painting, and a sausage sizzle hosted by Carmichael College.”
Mr Nay said the park’s design celebrated the region’s landscape and heritage, featuring natural materials, organic forms and public art that honour Kabi Kabi Country.
He said visitors could enjoy BBQ and picnic shelters, a half basketball court, a dry creek bed and kick-about lawn, all surrounded by native planting and shaded green spaces.
“Every element of the park has been designed to spark curiosity and connection.”
