No, visiting Happy Valley (also encompassing Clarke Place Park and the foreshore) is completely free. The park grounds and beach access are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, making it accessible at any time for early morning walks, picnics, or evening strolls.
The area is a massive hit for families due to the fantastic, nautical-themed Happy Valley Playground. Mostly shaded by trees and sails, it features a wooden lighthouse structure and a sunken pirate ship perfect for imaginative play. The parkland also offers public restrooms, change tables, outdoor showers, covered picnic tables, and free electric barbecue grills.
The beach area is seasonally patrolled by lifeguards and generally features relatively calm waters because it is sheltered from massive surf. However, it sits near the mouth of the Pumicestone Passage, meaning strong tidal currents can occur—always check the flags before swimming. For pet owners, dogs are strictly prohibited on the main beach and playground, but designated off-leash zones are available further up the coast.
