Paradise Point Parklands, affectionately known as the “Jellyfish Park” by locals, has been transformed into one of the Gold Coast’s most exciting and inclusive play destinations. Located on the Broadwater at Paradise Point, the newly upgraded playground combines imaginative design, accessibility and community-focused recreation, creating a destination where children of all abilities can play, explore and connect. The project was completed as part of the City of Gold Coast’s broader parklands enhancement program, which delivered a new inclusive playground and upgraded picnic facilities for visitors and locals.
At the heart of the project is a striking jellyfish-inspired play space that was designed in collaboration between WillPlay and Zone Landscape Architecture. Drawing inspiration from the park’s coastal setting and marine environment, the playground features iconic jellyfish-themed climbing towers, featuring an array of climbing nets, slides and interactive play experiences. The design creates a unique visual identity while encouraging active, imaginative and social play.
WillPlay played a pivotal role in bringing the vision to life. By undertaking the custom design, manufacturing and installation of the playground WillPlay brought local expertise to the forefront as an Australian-owned company supplying Australian-made equipment. Manufactured predominantly from marine grade aluminium and stainless steel, this play space is designed and built to withstand it’s tough coastal environment.
Complementing the playground is the well-designed landscape construction delivered by Boyds Bay Group, whose expertise helped integrate the play space seamlessly within the broader parklands. The landscaping works enhance the visitor experience through carefully considered pathways, open spaces, planting and supporting infrastructure, creating a cohesive environment that encourages families to spend more time outdoors.
The completed Paradise Point Parklands upgrade demonstrates what can be achieved when visionary design, quality manufacturing and expert landscape construction come together. More than just a playground, Jellyfish Park is a vibrant community destination that celebrates inclusion, local character and the natural beauty of the Gold Coast waterfront. It stands as a testament to the collaborative efforts of WillPlay, Zone Landscape Architecture, Boyds Bay Group and the City of Gold Coast in creating a space that will be enjoyed by generations to come.
