Discover Bellara

Bellara’s parks offer different features to help you plan your visit. At Pirate Park, a boardwalk takes the water level at high tide into account; Crest Park and Bribie Island Community Centre Park stand out for their play and sports facilities. This is a useful distinction when planning your days: you can first consider whether you’re looking for a place with a connection to the water, play facilities or specific sports areas. That way, your choice reflects the activities you actually want to include in your trip.

Pirate Park by the water

At Pirate Park, the boardwalk sits above the water at high tide. It makes the water level a distinctive feature of the park, setting it apart from the play and sports facilities at the other parks. Amenities include electric barbecue grills, tables and seating. Some seating is sheltered, while other spots are shaded by trees. If you’re planning a meal in the park, the grills and tables may help guide your plans. For a break, you can choose between shelter and tree shade based on the available features. Public toilets and drinking fountains are also available. Pirate Park also has accessible parking spaces.

Different options for play and sport

Crest Park has a partially enclosed sand play area and a playground with climbing equipment and slides. A half basketball court adds another way to get active. This brings sand play, climbing, slides and basketball together in one park. If you’re travelling with children, you can consider which of these options would be most enjoyable during your time together.

Bribie Island Community Centre Park offers a different sporting focus: it has a skate park and permanent pickleball lines. This sets it apart from Crest Park, where the sand play area, playground and basketball court are grouped together. If you’re planning for different interests, you can consider in advance whether a skate park, pickleball, or climbing, slides and sand play are higher on your wish list.

Planning tips

For more ideas, the Bribie Island Visitor Information Centre in Bellara is one place you can visit. Knowledgeable locals can advise on attractions, activities and places to eat. This may help with your planning if you’re considering places to visit or dining options beyond the parks. Staff and visitor services may change; check before your visit to see whether advice is currently available.

Searching for a holiday rental in Bellara can also be easier if you first decide which activities you want to do. Would you like to include the boardwalk and amenities at Pirate Park, use the play and sports facilities at Crest Park, or visit the skate park and use the pickleball lines? Then check how a specific accommodation’s location relates to the places you plan to visit.
