Newman Park Playground, Peterkin Street, Traralgon
Fantastic playground with a huge range of play equipment. There is a large castle structure with lots of levels, steps, walkways and ramps plus spiral, curved and straight slides, triple slide and spiral ladder. Next to this is a large sandpit with mechanical scoop, swings, real flying fox (zip line) and four person pommel bounce. Also a large purple and green climbing structure with lots of obstacles and two surfboard springers. Colourful maze with lots of fun and interesting panels with games.
Another large area with the theme "Newman Park Station" which seems to be a combination of a train station and a cattle station! It includes ramps, ladders, climbing wall, dual slides, straight slides, various panels with games, devices which say "Tickets please" and other train related noises and sayings, train and carriages with traversing possibilities. Fair amount of roofs in this area which provide some shade.
Shelter with BBQ and table. Plenty of unshaded tables and seats. Toilets including baby changing room and water tap. There is an area with two shelters, BBQ and tables. Liberty swing. Grassy areas.
To top it off the playground is next to a miniature train track. Trains run in the afternoon on the fourth Sunday of the month.
Newman Park is the large park on the right as you travel from Melbourne.
