Crockatt Park

Located near the tip of Woody Point on Oxley Avenue, Crockatt Park is a green oasis amid the vibrant Woody Point precinct.

Crockatt Park has something for all ages and abilities. There are picnic shelters and BBQs, and a large accessible toilet block with Braille towards Woody Point Jetty.

The chip bark playground isn’t fenced, but there is plenty of shade to enjoy while you watch birds and boats go by.

Woody Point is known for its community atmosphere, cafés, green spaces, and ocean views. The Jetty offers a stable and spacious surface for wheelchairs, stretching out across the calm waters of Moreton Bay.

It is the perfect destination to see a sunrise, catch up with friends, or enjoy some fresh air at your own pace.
