The wait is over for Sunshine Coast residents as the first phase of the Grand Linear Park opens three months ahead of schedule at Harmony in Palmview.

The size, scope and calibre of the park – which covers the length of 10 football fields and spans more than five hectares – is a first for Queensland and is set to become a major drawcard for local residents and visitors seeking to embrace the active, outdoor lifestyle synonymous with coastal living.

The first $3.1 million phase consists of two hectares of community space and features three separate play areas for locals to explore.

A set of six swings, two table tennis tables and a 30.2 metre multi-play structure with a slide, spider’s web, swinging ropes and stepping stones will also provide outdoor options for children of all ages and abilities.

A special family day will be held at the park on Saturday from 10am to 1pm.

Sunshine Coast Acting Mayor Tim Dwyer, who took part in today's opening ceremony along with Division 1 Cr Rick Baberowski, said the Grand Linear Park was a wonderful addition to the community.

“Our council applauds AVID Property Group’s commitment to providing exceptional community infrastructure and the important green space that every suburb needs,” Cr Dwyer said.

“Healthy, smart, and creative is part of our vision for the Sunshine Coast and what has been achieved here at Grand Linear Park certainly ticks off all three of those goals.

“This will be a wonderful asset for this community and will encourage residents to get outdoors and get active and importantly, provide a great meeting place for them to connect with each other."

AVID Property Group General Manager Queensland Bruce Harper said AVID was thrilled to open the first phase of the Grand Linear Park.

“At five times the size of a standard park on the Coast, the Grand Linear Park will serve as a catalyst for wellbeing and connectivity for residents and tourists alike,” Mr Harper said.

The park promotes and fosters the Sunshine Coast’s active lifestyle, with pull-up bars, parallel bars and rope bells from leading outdoor equipment designers KOMPAN Australia available in the specially-designed outdoor fitness centre.

Despite the emphasis on fitness and exercise, the Grand Linear Park also caters to a more relaxed lifestyle, with many quiet nooks and crannies for those looking to unwind and enjoy the temperate coastal climate.

The remaining phases of parkland development remain true to the active theme, with each hectare of park set to offer its own specially-designed playground and amenity.

The configuration of the linear park ensures 90% of Harmony residents live within 250 metres of a park and that each neighbourhood is connected to the development’s 60km network of pedestrian path and cycleways.
