When you think of a day at the park, you probably think of old, metal climbing equipment, but on the Gold Coast, kids parks have a whole new meaning. Today, there are parks with flying foxes, trampolines and epic slides on every corner. If you are on the Gold Coast and are scrambling for ways to get the kids out of the house, look no further than these five fantastic parks around the Coast.
