Projects

 

KIDSPACE
Kidspace is situated in 7th Brigade Park, Chermside and is the largest community built playground in Queensland.

Aspley Lions Club, in conjunction with Brisbane City Council, coordinated over 1,000 volunteers to build Kidspace over 10 consecutive days during November 1999. 

Kidspace covers an area approximately the size of 5 homes and includes a large undercover play area, electric bbq's, toilets, shelters, bench tables and seating.


LIONS PARK

Aspley Lions Park is situated at the corner of Gympie and Ellison Roads at Chermside and is maintained by Aspley Lions, in conjunction with the Main Roads Department.

It is used extensively as a rest stop and calm haven for weary travellers coming into Brisbane from the north.

The Park offers shade, picnic tables, benches, rubbish bins, toilets, water, electric barbecues and lighting.  



WHEELCHAIR FOR NEW GUINEA

 Aspley Lions Club (with assistance from the Apple Mac Club) has provided a motorised wheel chair to a disabled person in New Guinea.

Pictured is Gordon Ogil - complete with beaming smile - in his chair, with Lion Peter Hunter and DG John Muller. Also under the landing is the wheelbarrow that his family used prior to the wheelchair to take Gordon on visits around his village.
