The Council's description of this park does not do it justice. All that they have mentioned, is the following: "Play Equipment, Toilets, Gazebo". (visit link) [It does have a good map of where the vehicular entry to the park is.]

Three-year old Stacey gives her own 'Review' of the Playground section of this park, in a YouTube clip:

Okay, that is true, but there so much more. The Mosaic Path is a beautiful wonder, especially if you take the time to read the 'Story' from the Women of the Snowy. There are a few wooden sculptures to check out. There is a Flood Level Marker/Totem Pole, and many Interpretative Signs around the park from WaterWatch Victoria.
