Published 09 May 2025
Bribie Island residents and visitors are set to enjoy new recreational opportunities with a $2.25 million upgrade to Cosmos Park.
Mayor Peter Flannery said that he was pleased to welcome people to Bribie Island’s first district level park thanks to the Cosmos Park upgrades.
“We’re bringing new activities to Cosmos Park with a basketball half court, fitness equipment, dedicated pickleball courts and improved accessibility with upgraded amenities,” Mayor Flannery said.
“The upgrade of this park to a district level means the Bribie Island community can enjoy bigger and better facilities that cater to their growing need for active spaces.
“Parks are much more than a green space. They are a vibrant meeting place for friends and family to make memories, learn new hobbies, stay healthy and active and celebrate together.
Stage one works will include:
- Outdoor fitness equipment
- A basketball half court
- A picnic shelter
- Water bubblers, bins and seating
- 2.5-meter-wide connecting paths
- Additional shade trees and landscape planting
- Improved drainage.
Councillor Brooke Savige (Division 1) said the park upgrade was important for the growing Bribie Island community.
“These new upgrades make Cosmos Park the ideal spot for relaxation, recreation, and family fun,” Councillor Savige said.
“The park has been a gathering place for local clubs like the Croquet Club and Tennis Club, and will shortly be home to the Bribie Pickleball Club.
“The upgraded facilities will support the growth of these clubs and their communities.
“Thank you to the Bribie Pickleball Club who will also generously contribute $120,000 towards lighting the new courts, enabling extended play for the growing number of pickleball enthusiasts in our community.
