Howitt Park Playground, Princes Highway, Bairnsdale
Some super elements including the Wormtastic slide and huge flying fox. The playground has equipment in different areas. One area has a small structure comprising a slide, abacus, steering wheel, ladder and shop front. Another area has a structure with scrambling wall, ladder, hanging ladder, walkway, vertical web shaped chain climbing frame, climber and monkey bars. Another smaller structure has a spiral ladder, sloping parallel bars, chain bridge and flying fox. Also a large pyramid climbing frame with lots of climbing possibilities. A separate two person pommel bounce. There is a very long flying fox (more than 50m long) and a huge worm tunnel slide down a big hill. Thankfully the horizontal sections of the slide slow you down a bit or else it would spit you out on the highway. The slide has clear plastic port holes along its length which enables you to see the look of terror (or joy) on the faces of the kids.
At the top of the hill is a BBQ and three tables under a shelter. Toilets. Located on the left side as you exit Bairnsdale towards Lakes Entrance (immediately after the Mitchell River bridge).
