The Gnowangerup Community Park is located near the centre of the town at the intersection of Yougenup Road and Alymore Street. Ample parking and easy access is available on the Alymore Street side of the park.

The park, with the sub-name "Nobarach Park", was officially opened on Saturday 7 November 2009 by the Honourable Terry Waldron MLA, Member for Wagin.

This park has to rate at least a 4.0 (out of 5), with an excellent playground featuring a good range of equipment types, lots of shade sales, a basketball half-court, ample seating for adults, two barbecues, two picnic tables, taps, bins, toilets and heaps of parking. 11 year old Ethan rated the playground the second best ever, after the Katanning All Ages Adventure Playground, and 12 year old Mikayla rated it third best but couldn't remember which playground was second best.
