While others of the traveling family could be checking out the nearby Museum, the children can be playing here. This entry being edited June 2023, to replace the earlier entry. *

The current ('23) Playground has wood board edging with wood chip base. there is a three swing set with the infant-style rubber 'bucket' and safety chain hanging off the cantilever bar. A modular playset has a set of stairs, a cable cargo net, or 'zipper-style' ladder to climb onto the elevated platform, with two slippery dips to come on down. A single Spring Bounce in the shape of a wombat is in a corner of the set. There is also a more modern version of the spinning 'Hurdy-Girdy' - though sunkening into the surrounding foam soft-fall.

* The swing set is sturdily built, with two 'adult-sized' swing seats, and two flexible, bucket-style rubber seats with restraint chains - suitable for smaller children.

* The main modular play set has many fun elements, which include (but not limited to): Big-Step Platforms, Stair-Accessed Platforms, Roofed Watch Tower, Stainless Steel Slippery Dips, Chain 'Cargo Net', Flying Fox, 'Fireman's Pole' with Spiral Ladder, mini Steering Wheel, and a Hooped Climbing 'Race'. There is a nearby Spring-balanced See Saw with handles. *

There are a few open-air picnic tables, and some under cover, with BBQ facilities near by.
