Goldsworthy Park Playground, Western Highway, Nhill

A fenced playground in the median strip of the Western Highway. A basic structure with dual wave slides, walkway, fireman's pole and chain bridge. Swings.

There are toilets, unshaded seat, water tap and a statue of a draught horse. You can press a button to hear about the history of the draught horse. This monument in Goldsworthy Park is a reminder of the major part the draught horse played in the development of Australia and this region. The memorial, erected in April 1966 was modelled on a Clydesdale and modified to look like the original draught horse. The first two horses arrived in Nhill in 1844. A team of horses hauled Nhill's first harvest 100 miles
(160kilometres) to the nearest rail head at Stawell for delivery to Melbourne.

There is a lot of traffic so care is needed outside the fenced area.
