🐶 Ralph’s Pawspective

This place is barking with activity! Tickle Park is like the Coolum community’s backyard – I saw people having picnics, sizzling sausages on the BBQs, and kids running wild on the playground.

It’s not a spot for zoomies (too many people for that), but it is a pawsome gateway to the beach.

Lots of good smells, friendly hoomans, and plenty to look at.

I stayed on-leash (park rules, grumble grumble), but I didn’t mind – there was too much happening to be bored. Plus, I knew a splash in the surf was just a short walk away. 🐶🌊

👤 Human Highlights

Tickle Park is truly the heartbeat of Coolum. Located right at the beach’s edge and adjacent to the main shopping strip, it’s an ideal location to relax before or after a beach visit.

The park features shaded picnic spots, electric BBQs, public toilets, and plenty of open space for families.

While dogs must stay on-leash in the park, it’s a convenient and social place to take a break, meet other pet owners, and soak in that coastal energy.

The playground and facilities make it especially family-friendly, and with Coolum Surf Club and beach access just steps away, you’re in the centre of it all.
