Carine Open Space
Carine Open Space
Carine Open Space is a vast area that every person in the family can find something fun to do. Sporting grounds include three full-size ovals, three rectangles, three tennis courts, a baseball pitch, club rooms and plenty of space for training. The main playground features all the usual facilities, and there is another smaller and quieter playground on the other side. Toilets are located near the playgrounds, and the barbeque facilities and park benches are very well looked after. The skate park is located a short walk away from the main playground and features a number of ramps, rails and ledges. The park also features both a large dog and a small dog section. Fences, sand pits, and water fountains with bowls are provided in both sections, along with seats for you to take a break. Just across Beach Road is the Carine Glades Shopping Centre and Carine Central, providing everything one needs for the perfect picnic or barbeque.

The swamps are now preserved as natural wetlands and are home to many rare waterbirds, frogs, turtles and other wildlife.
