A popular spot for families, the playground is a draw-card offering swing, climbing equipment, slides, monkey bars and more.

This 2.2-hectare urban oasis was a centennial gift to the city in 1888 by the Australian Agricultural Company (a coal mining company). It’s also home to the city’s only public lawn tennis courts while next door is the Lowlands Bowling Club, which opened in 1892.
