Wynnum Wading Pool

Who says you have to put up with the stifling Brisbane heat? Down on the Wynnum Foreshore there's a huge, shallow wading pool filled with seawater that is the answer to you prayers in summer. Built way back in the 1930s, it's weel over 100 metres long, and only 75cm deep at most – but that's plenty of H2O to lounge around in like a sleepy seal. Much safer than going into Moreton Bay, and as a bonus there's a mini waterslide that will give kids hours of fun. If you've got little ones then luckily the Wynnum Whale Park is next door with fountains and a big splash bucket. And if you suddenly crave fish and chips there are two shops across the road to choose from.
