Disability Action Week accessible activities in City of Logan
The City of Logan supports and celebrates people of all abilities year-round with an increasing number of accessible and inclusive experiences available to empower individuals living with disability.
For Disability Action Week 2025 from 23 to 30 November, Logan City Council has compiled a list of events and activities on offer, with some also timed to tie in with the annual International Day of Persons with Disabilities on 3 December. View the list here: Accessible services in Logan.
The United Nations observed day is designed to also raise awareness, understanding and acceptance of the 5.5 million people with disability in Australia.
Logan City Council views accessibility as a value which drives all programs and services, as well as the way that Council’s venues and facilities operate.
More than 100 actions have been taken under Council’s Disability Action Plan over the past 2 years to improve access and inclusion for people with disability in the City of Logan.
Throughout Logan you’ll find accessible buildings, specialised equipment and supportive staff that create safe spaces for people with disability to learn, thrive and create meaningful connections.
We’ve also compiled a list below of some thrilling outdoor activities and sensory-friendly experiences to enjoy.
Logan Libraries
Discover new assistive technology and adaptive equipment in a sensory-friendly learning environment at the Logan North Library Accessibility Centre.
You’ll also find a collection of free learning and development games and resources for people of all abilities, covering topics such as language, numeracy and tactile skills.
A social sensory story has also been developed for Logan North Library and Marsden Library to help people prepare for their visit to the library. These can be accessed online (Logan North Library sensory story and Marsden Library sensory story) or in hard copy at all libraries.

There are many dyslexia-friendly titles, dyslexia readers titles and several braille books available at Logan Libraries.
Bayside Wake Park
Enjoy fun in the sun, develop core strength and improve fitness at Carbrook’s Bayside Wake Park, which offers an adaptive wakeboarding experience. The facility was designed to accommodate individuals of all abilities, with specialised equipment that was designed with adaptive water skier Scott Wintle. Instructors have also received training to support people with disability and additional needs.
Kingston Park Raceway
If you have a need for speed, Kingston Park Raceway features a large and wide track designed with safety in mind, along with hand-controlled and dual-seated go-karts for individuals with limited mobility and visual impairments. Please book at least a day in advance for access to the specialised go-karts.
Skate Paradise
Swap your shoes for roller skates, because it’s Sensory Hour at Skate Paradise every Tuesday between 11 am to 12:30 pm. Designed for individuals with sensory sensitivities, these sessions provide a quieter, more controlled environment for skating. With reduced noise and fewer distractions, it’s a fantastic way for everyone to skate and glide in a more comfortable setting.
The venue also accommodates visitors with wheelchairs or limited mobility. A lift is available for easy access across multiple levels, taking guests straight from the grand foyer entrance to the ticket office on the first floor. The paths within the venue, including entry and seating areas, are wide enough to facilitate ease of movement. Furthermore, accessible bathroom facilities with braille signage are conveniently located inside the venue, adjacent to the public restrooms.
Kingston Butter Factory
From musicals to comedy shows and concerts, you’ll find world-class entertainment at the Kingston Butter Factory (KBF), which was recognised as Queensland’s most accessible venue in 2024.
Features include wheelchair access, a sensory-friendly ‘Hush Room’ and accessible seating.
Visit the Cérge Companion website to prepare for your visit. Tools include a visual story and sensory guide, access guide, virtual tour, audio guide and more.
