Eden Beach Lookout and Play Space, Jindalee

Perched high above the Indian Ocean at the western end of Reflection Boulevard, Eden Beach Lookout and Play Space in Jindalee is made for older kids who love to move. This modern coastal park combines parkour-style equipment, scooter and skate ramps, and a half basketball court with sweeping ocean views, making it a brilliant spot for active families to hang out, especially later in the day when the sun begins to set.

The heart of the space is the concrete scooter and skate area. Here you’ll find low and medium ramps and banks that are perfect for scooters, skateboards and even confident balance bikers. It’s not a full-scale skate park, but it offers enough variety for kids to practise tricks, build confidence and race their mates up and down the ramps. The open design means you can easily keep an eye on your child while they ride.

Next to the ramps is a small parkour and climbing zone that really appeals to tweens and teens. There’s a rock climbing wall and other elements designed for jumping, balancing and scrambling, so kids can create their own obstacle courses and challenges. Older children will love testing their agility and strength here, and it’s a nice change from the more traditional Playgrounds you usually find in suburban estates.

A half basketball court adds another way to burn energy. Bring a ball and kids can shoot hoops between runs on the ramps, or gather a small group for a casual game.

Alongside all this action is a large, gently sloping grassy area, ideal for kicking a footy, playing chasey or simply throwing down a picnic rug. Because the park sits up high, you also get uninterrupted ocean views – it feels really special for something that’s essentially your local estate park.

The Eden Beach Lookout itself is a standout feature. The raised platform is the perfect place to soak up spectacular coastal views, watch waves rolling in and, on a clear evening, enjoy one of those classic west coast sunsets. It’s a lovely spot for parents to perch while kids play below, and it makes the park an appealing destination for an after-dinner stroll or weekend sunset picnic.

There are a few shaded picnic shelters with tables plus a barbecue, so it’s easy to bring food and make a longer outing of your visit. Shade over the actual play and ramp areas is limited, so it’s best to visit in the cooler parts of the day, especially in summer, and pack hats, sunscreen and plenty of water.

It’s worth noting that there are no toilets at Eden Beach Lookout and Play Space. The closest facilities are at Eden Beach Foreshore Playground further down Reflection Boulevard, where you’ll find toilets, barbecues, picnic shelters and more traditional play structures as well as beachfront access and dining options. Many families combine a run around the lookout play space with a stop at the foreshore park or café.

Access is straightforward: follow Reflection Boulevard through the Eden Beach estate towards the coast, then turn right at the end of the estate – the lookout and play space sit on the right-hand side. Street parking is available nearby. Because the park is unfenced and sits above the ocean with nearby roads, it’s best suited to school-aged children who can follow instructions and are comfortable around moving wheels and older riders.

While Eden Beach Lookout and Play Space isn’t huge, it packs a lot into a compact area and offers something a bit different for active kids. With parkour elements, ramps, a basketball court, open grass and those incredible ocean views, it’s a fantastic local hangout for tweens and teens and a beautiful spot for the whole family to enjoy the coast.
