The park is home to a fully fenced, inclusive playground designed specifically for children with diverse physical and sensory needs.
It is geographically integrated into the broader Kurrawa-Pratten Park precinct, spanning the beachfront between the Broadbeach commercial hub and the sea.
The park serves as a common outdoor venue for local fitness groups and morning exercise classes due to its proximity to the ocean breeze.
It provides direct access to the Gold Coast Oceanway, a long-distance pedestrian and cycle path stretching along the coastline.
Pratten Park is a prominent beachfront recreational area located in Broadbeach, Queensland, featuring extensive coastal parkland directly adjacent to the Pacific Ocean. The site includes a highly accessible all-abilities playground, known as the Kurrawa All Abilities Playground, which serves as a regional drawcard. The park incorporates wide grassy areas suitable for picnics, rugby, and informal soccer matches. Dedicated barbecue and picnic facilities are distributed throughout the grounds for public use. It serves as a connector between the Broadbeach commercial district and the sand dunes of the Gold Coast. Pedestrian pathways link the park seamlessly with the adjacent Kurrawa Beach surf lifesaving zone. The area is maintained by the City of Gold Coast and provides direct access to coastal walking and cycling tracks.
