137 Wynnum Esplanade, Wynnum, QLD
Also called Wynnum Whale Park, this free council aqua park sits within Wynnum Wading Pool Park on the Wynnum Esplanade. Children climb on water-spouting whales, run through a spray zone with a splash tower and wait for the overhead tipping bucket, while toddlers have their own area with a bubbling stream. The water area is not under cover. A playground, barbecues, a picnic shelter and public toilets are beside it, with an on-site car park and parking along the esplanade.
Wynnum Aqua Park is free, with water-spouting whales, a tipping bucket and a toddler area with a bubbling stream.
