If you need a shady place to retreat in the hotter months after exploring Bribie’s beautiful beaches, Lions Park at Woorim is the perfect spot for a picnic and play.
Lion’s Park is located opposite the Bribie Island Surf Club, and features two fenced playgrounds with softfall rubber matting flooring.
A popular venue for beach-goers and families, please use caution during peak time when sharing the paths with pedestrians, scooters, bikes and skateboards. This is a great location for group outings, where you can relax, recharge and take in your surroundings.
The pathways are sealed and flat, ideal for wheelchairs, walkers and prams. These wind through the trees and garden beds to various amenities: BBQs, seating areas, and toilet facilities.
If you’re keen for a longer stroll, continue south along the Woorim Beach Accessible Pathway, which runs through Lions Park all the way to Edwin Schrag Park and Edwin Schrag Lookout.
