Alexandra Rotary Park Playground, Bayley Street, Alexandra
A fully fenced playground with five swings (including one with a harness), two in-ground trampolines and a fun tower with a big curved slide, straight slide and steps. Internal ledges in the tower lead up to the slide. On the sides of the tower are a '4 in a Row' panel and climbing walls. Also a log balance circuit.
Shelter with table, two possibly shaded tables and water tap. There is a small grassy area at the end of the play area. Outside the fence is an unshaded table and sculpture of a kangaroo and sheep.
To the south, toward the skate park and pump track in an unfenced area with four giant pencils (two with climbing holds), climbing cube with climbing holds, medium-size rope climbing frame, sandpit, hand pump which pumps water down a short channel which a bridge crosses, percussion pipes and vertical xylophone. This area has a water tap.
A real highlight is crossing the wibbly-wobbly bridge over the creek (20 people max) to get to toilets at the Visitor Information Centre. In this area are more shaded and unshaded tables, a big shelter with artwork, 5 tables, 4 BBQs and a water tap plus another large shelter with 2 tables and BBQs.
In the corner of this part of the park is the Victorian Truck Drivers Memorial which was designed to provide a permanent place of memory and reflection for those who lost their lives in transport related accidents. The memorial is updated with any additional names annually in June.
