"The park has a range of interesting elements and is located near the Tourist Information Centre [Slab Hut]. The playground has a big metal climbing frame with a high arch ladder, carousel, rodeo board on springs, another climbing structure with slide, a rope climbing net, see-saw, star springer, game board for younger kids and swings.

"Beside the playground is a shelter with a table and BBQ plus four unshaded tables in a grassy area plus a shelter with tables, BBQ, more unshaded tables, water tap and toilets.

"Across a bridge which crosses a wetlands meadow garden is an exercise site. There are lots of information panels scattered about including some near the Snowy River. There is a lovely mosaic path and carved timber sculptures which were created in 1997 but are now a little worse for wear."

4 year old Stacey gives the playground 8/10, in her video review: (visit link) "Forest Park at Orbost has a range of updated playground equipment that caters to all ages from preschoolers to pre-teens. It has a range of facilities including toilets, picnic tables, and undercover areas."

The playground only has a low 'pool-style' fence on the side where the road and turning circle is.
