How cool would it be to have your very own Maccas Playland? Two very creative parents always dreamed of owning one and their wish came true when they scored an old McDonald’s playground on eBay.
After hours and hours of labour, the couple transformed their backyard into a Maccas mecca complete with a cubby house, play palace and waterslide. Incredible!
Maggie Brennan or Tattoo Maggie is an exceptionally talented artist from Victoria with a keen eye for design and, alongside her husband, the pair turned their regular backyard into every child’s dream.
It’s a Little Bit Fancy
It all started when the couple found an old McDonald’s Playland on eBay. They picked it up, cleaned it, repainted and restored it. The playland looks identical to the ones still used in some Maccas today with several slides, climbing areas and windows.
Â
Â
To complete their backyard paradise, they added grass, a firepit, some picnic tables and sitting areas, a Maccas cubby house, a mega water slide and a trampoline.Â
Â
Tattoo Maggie shared the epic transformation on her Instagram page and it’s a work of art! Maggie admits that, while the kids, Billie and Murphy love it, she and her husband are also huge fans of the space.Â
Maccas Playland is a Paradise for Parents tooÂ
They even have their own Simpsons-themed skate park and bar with an amazing mural, bar stools, life-sized Simpsons characters and Duff beer esky which they bought from Supercheap Auto.

Because why should the kids have all the fun?Â
Â
We love everything about this Maccas playland palace. What an incredible backyard transformation! Kudos Maggie on an epic job!

But wait, there’s more!Â
Inside the Brennan home is just as magnificent! Check out Billie and Murphy’s Bluey and Toy Story bedrooms, all done by Maggie.Â

A Texas-themed Terrace
Across the pond in Texas another family made their children’s dreams come true when they put together this backyard masterpiece. It’s got the works – a sparkling above-ground pool complete with a basketball hoop and a waterslide.Â
Head down the stairs and you reach the Texas deck with a massive hammock and ping pong table.
Or, head up the stairs to reach a playground that doubles as a wooden fortress. Not only are there two covered slides, but also a big swing, plus another double slide, a rock climbing wall and plenty of pathways to explore. Look underneath the double slide and there’s also a pretty cool sand pit.

Two-Story Cubby Dream
Continuing on our pathway of playground perfection, we arrive at this stunning two-story cubby house, designed by a dad who happens to be a builder.
Â
Towering more than seven metres, the outside area includes a swing set, ropes and rock climbing walls, a massive spiral slide and even a timber bridge. The mini-mansion even comes with its own zipline. And wait until you see inside…Â
Up, Up and Away
Another cubby that’s out of this world is the Up! themed cubby house, also created by a dad. It took him 15 months to create the cubby that looks EXACTLY like the Pixar film’s version, complete with various colours and adorable and iconic design. We’re UP-sessed! Â
