It is so good to have a little pot of gold waiting for you at the end of a long car ride. Mansfield Botanic Park is just the spot to have a run around, a play, a laugh and that all important toilet stop while road tripping in the state’s North East.

This playground has been recently upgraded and is ready to cater for a wide range of ages. The big kids will love the ropes course and the racing flying foxes. The younger aged kids will love explore the cubbies and building with sand (especially as it comes with a water pump). EVERYONE will love the inbuilt trampolines (these seriously need to be at every new playground!).

You’ll find this park at the far eastern end of town and is the number one spot for a rest stop and place for a picnic.

Mamma's special mention: Mansfield is a BEAUTIFUL town with great access to Lake Elidon and not far at all from the ski fields. Did you know they even have a zoo?
