Construction is underway on a major upgrade to Clayton Park near the Beachmere foreshore, with new playground equipment, barbecue facilities and improved amenities set to be completed by late June 2026, weather permitting.
The $800,000 project marks the park’s most significant upgrade in years, backed by a $500,000 funding commitment and a $300,000 contribution, transforming the existing green space into a more accessible, well-equipped destination for families, visitors and local residents of all ages.
New equipment across the whole park
The upgrade centres on a brand new all-ages playground featuring slides, a swing bay and a carousel, built on accessible rubber surfacing that supports safer play for children of all abilities. A new shade structure will sit above the play area, addressing one of the most common limitations of existing outdoor playgrounds in Queensland’s climate.
Beyond the playground itself, the project also delivers new picnic shelters, new barbecue facilities, sandstone block seating and renewed gardens throughout the park. The combination of shaded seating, cooking facilities and new planting is designed to make Clayton Park a more comfortable and welcoming space for extended family visits, not just a quick stop.
A park that already does a lot
Clayton Park sits close to the Beachmere foreshore and is already one of Beachmere’s most versatile outdoor spaces, featuring grassed areas, a dog off-leash area, footpaths, fixed exercise equipment and a large skate bowl.
The adjacent caravan park and motel make it a regular stop for visitors to the region as well as a daily destination for local families. The playground and barbecue upgrade builds on that existing footprint without displacing any of the current facilities.
Construction is expected to be complete by late June 2026. Until then, a section of the park may be impacted while works are underway. For the latest updates on construction progress, follow the City of Moreton Bay’s Facebook page.
