Billubera Park

Right before our very eyes, Yarrabilba’s newest community park, Billubera Park, is coming to life. From the 10-metre elevated maze bridge to the 4.5-metre tube slides, Ninja course, basketball court and two large kickabout ovals, young children right through to adults will have hours of fun exploring and making memories in this exciting park. Let’s look at what’s on offer for our residents and the wider community.

In the final stages of construction, Billubera Park is set to impress, encouraging residents to go wild and explore the natural beauty of our community, while inviting friends, family and neighbours to connect.

The park has been designed by RPS and constructed by Eureka Landscapes, while the feature play tower has been co-created and built by Fleetwood Urban.

The major play structure within the 5.6-hectare park has been inspired by nature-based play and set among green surrounds.

The park will include numerous shelters, picnic tables, seating, BBQs, amenities block and on street parking.

RPS Principal Landscape Architect Emma Fraser said Billubera Park was a celebration of nature.

“The vision behind Billubera Park is to immerse the user in nature through carefully locating key embellishments within and around the existing trees,” she said.

In the Yugambeh language billubera means ‘a clear sky or fine day’  this name was chosen as it represents the prospect of having clear, fine and sunny days at this family orientated parkland.  The language connects the site back to country and shares culture with the wider community.

“Play pieces, sporting facilities and exercise equipment, interpretive signage, nature walks and bird boxes combine to educate users in a fun and interactive way.

“Along with the playground, there will also be two main kickabout ovals, which can combine to form a large event space for markets, neighbourhood days, Christmas carols, movie nights, fetes and other community events. The larger oval is about the size of a soccer field so could be used for practice matches or informal games.”
