Huxtable Park - Chermside West, Queensland

Sebastian Q.

This park is a hidden gem for those who visit. It has two playgrounds, basketball hoop, exercise area, a forest to walk through and a creek that crosses throughout. One of the local amusements is a couple of ducks who leave on the creek and are a beautiful way to entertain kids. One of them is a mystery ad no one knows how it ended up here.

Only negative thing is that there's no restrooms or facilities to change babies diapers. Rode Rd shops are 5 mins away by foot

This is a really nice park. There isn’t much to it, but it’s peaceful and clean, and well-shaded. The pond has ducks, and quite a number of turtles. Their little heads rise above the water as they glide around in search of food. Rather enchanting for children, I imagine, and for adults who have not yet hardened their hearts to wonder.
We took our daughter to this park in August 2019. She very much liked the ducks, though she was too young to feed them. I think she noticed the turtles, but it is hard to say. She loved the children’s play area and showed this love by eating some bark.
All around us were families feeding the ducks. Sometimes with responsible food, sometimes not. That last bit was the only real shame of the day.

Chermside's hidden treasures | Clear your mind and take a stroll around the Huxtable Park. With three playgrounds, bbqs and a rainforest walk this place is full of tranquility and wildlife perfect for a day out.

Lovely little walk with the dogs, no off lead areas unless you're sneaky. Little river with lots of wildlife to watch. One of my fav walks in chermside.

Huxtable Park is co-managed by the community and council. It's very well looked-after. Over the years it's been great to see the gradual development of the park and the expansion of the native plant gardens. Really looking forward to seeing what this place looks like in 10 years.

Beautiful expansive gardens, playgrounds and creeks with nature trees, plenty of shade and seated areas. Perfect for families, pets and a game of basketball.

Pleasant park hugging Downfall Creek as it winds its way towards Chermside. Just enough room to cycle past pedestrians if they bother to walk single file.

A lovely park that is always being landscaped and improved. Great place for children to learn to ride, feed the ducks or attend scouts. Includes its own little rain forest and lots or wildlife including water dragons (lizards) and even turtles and fish. Locals are also very friendly and always say hello. Thanks to council for the ow has great new lighting on the park at night.
