Majorca Reserve Playground, Talbot Road, Majorca

Small fully fenced playground with swings and a structure with wave slide, ladder with square rungs and inclined climber with half circles.

Some grassy area with two unshaded tables, toilets and shelter with BBQ. Located next to the Majorca Town Hall.

Have a wander around town for a bit of history. Majorca drew thousands of gold-seekers to rushes in 1863 just as the diggings around nearby towns declined. Their first surface diggings soon gave way to complex networks of deep mine shafts, with a mass local workforce and capital investment from around the globe. The rich field of Majorca sustained its own local council that met in the town hall. Around Majorca, remnants of the mining industry can still be seen in the 1860s standpipe, a whip from the 1930s and cyanide workings. Miners dug out the massive mounds of mine waste that even today shape local skylines.
