Gold Coast’s Greenheart Robina Parklands delivers enhanced recreational facilities and playgrounds

The City of Gold Coast has official opened Greenheart Robina Parklands. Spanning 22.5 hectares the Parklands is a destination park providing ample space for hundreds of visitors each day, to play, relax, and enjoy the outdoors with a range of activities.  

With an investment of over $25 million in park upgrades in this first stage, the City has created a versatile environment equipped with modern recreational facilities.

Greenheart Robina Parklands facilities include:

  • A fully fenced playground for younger children

  • Brand new ‘tower play’ with challenging play for older kids

  • A pedal park for children to practice bike riding and scootering

  • Outdoor gym for people of all ages

  • Water play area with water pumps and opportunities for imaginative play

  • Several barbecues, picnic tables and shelters

  • Event lawn for large community and ticketed events

  • Ball sports area for informal kickabout games

  • Yoga lawn for active and healthy activities and informal recreation

  • Fenced dog off leash area with agility equipment, seating and shade trees

  • Amenities building with a Changing Places facility, accessible toilet and changing equipment

  • Upgrade to the existing sports fields with new goal posts and lighting

 

Mayor Tom Tate noted “the opening of Greenheart Robina Parklands marks a significant milestone in the City's commitment to fostering vibrant and accessible green spaces.

“It is a testament to our dedication to enhancing open spaces and providing valuable recreational facilities for our growing population.

“This park not only offers a space for locals and visitors to enjoy but also supports our overall Greenheart Masterplan, which aims to create a central ‘green heart’ on the Gold Coast.

“The great news is that 70% of total construction spend was delivered by Gold Coast businesses and with 62,000 hours of local employment provided, this project has already been a fantastic boost for our local workforce.

“As the first stage of the Greenheart initiative, the park represents a significant step towards a greener, more sustainable future for the Gold Coast.”

Greenheart Robina Parklands’ extensive upgrades include recreational facilities designed to cater to all ages and interests.  

From playgrounds and picnic areas to pathways and open fields, the park is an ideal location for leisure as well as keeping active and healthy.  

The park features 400 newly planted trees and over 17,000 plants, enhancing the green canopy and contributing to the city's ecological wellbeing.

Greenheart Robina Parklands is just the beginning for the Greenheart Masterplan with the City working on incorporating community feedback to help design the next phase.

Community Celebration Day
The City will host a Community Celebration event on Saturday 3rd May from 9am to 12pm to mark the opening of Greenheart Robina Parklands.

The community is invited to come along to experience the new parklands while enjoying live music, food trucks and free activities.
