A new dinosaur-themed park is expected to become a social hotspot in one of the Sunshine Coast’s fastest growing areas.
The park, to be built in Aura’s suburb of Nirimba, will feature a giant ‘Aura-saurus’ dinosaur play piece for children to swing and slide on. It will include a climbable neck and tail.
A series of mini dino-eggs will be creatively placed for younger children to explore, while older kids can uncover unique fossil designs in the archaeological digging pit.
The recreational area is set to become a hub with barbeques, hammocks, restrooms and picnic shelters available for local events and community use.
The park will be delivered in two stages. The green recreational offering is expected to be open by mid-2022 while the play elements, barbecues and shelters are set to be completed by late-2022.
The addition forms part of the ever-growing Aura park trail, a network of 15 uniquely themed interconnected parks located throughout the community. The project is set to boast a park within 400 metres of every home.

“As our community grows, it’s encouraging to be able to offer our residents another exciting interactive play space, where imaginations can run wild with prehistoric adventures,” she said.
