Wynnum Wading Pool and Water Park

The Wynnum/Manly/Lota area has some great spaces to keep kids occupied on a sunny day.  We'll start with a look at the Wynnum wading pool and park.  The wading pool was originally built in the 1930's  and was redeveloped a few years ago.  It's a large pool adjacent to the sea and is filled with filtered sea water and has a sandy bottom.  The water depth is fairly shallow (think adult knee level!) and there's a small water slide at one end.  


Next to the wading pool is a playground and the water park.  The water park is some large blue whales that spurt water out at random intervals - great fun for young and old kids!  The playground is quite large and also suits young and old kids.  


Yet another attraction next to the park is Pandanus Beach, a small area of sand great for littlies to play on and paddle in the sea.


Facilities are good with picnic tables and shady areas and new changing room/toilet block.  There are a number of good fish and chip shops across the road.


Note in the winter months the wading pool is emptied for cleaning and maintenance and the whales don't spout water. 


Address: Wynnum Esplanade, Wynnum 4178
