John Goss Reserve

Description

The John Goss Reserve sprawls up the hillside off Maundrell Terrace in Chermside West, giving rise to distinct activity zones such as sporting fields, dog parks and family picnic/playground areas.

There is a main fort structure in the playground which incorporates chain ladders, rock-climbing walls, a central climbing web, tunnel ladder, fireman's pole, platforms and bridges.
The older kids will also enjoy the other curved climbing structure, climbing tower, slide, and obstacle course which includes stepping stones to jump between and a flying fox.
There is a low-lying toddler circuit with wobbly bridges, a tunnel to climb through and a small flying fox.
Another toddler area has play panels such as a chunky abacus and noughts and crosses game.
Other playground features are a sandpit with digger, circular lie down group swing and a stand up spinner.
There is a lot of shade provided by the large trees as well as shade sails over much of the playground equipment.
For dog owners there is a main dog off-leash area with a picnic shelter to sit at and various structures for energetic dogs, and a second, smaller fenced dog park adjacent.
Facilities include numerous park benches scattered through the playground, sheltered picnic tables, BBQs and toilets.
There is an off-street car park but if full there is also plenty of street parking to be found on Maundrell Terrace.
