Parks & Playgrounds

Wonderful for rest stops, picnics & family fun!

The great outdoors isn’t just something you admire – it’s something you experience. Known for its wide-open landscapes and big skies, this region is nature’s playground, with over 40 parks, reserves and playgrounds spread across its welcoming towns and villages.

Families will find plenty of space for little ones to run, explore and play. Gum Bend Lake, just outside Condobolin, is a local favourite. With a shaded playground right on the foreshore, sandy swim beach and BBQ picnic facilities, it’s the ideal spot for a relaxed afternoon by the water. In the heart of Condobolin, Memorial Park offers the popular adventure playground, perfect for children of all ages. Set beside the Lachlan River and just a short stroll from the main street.

Lake Cargelligo’s long and scenic foreshore is a delight for both kids and adults, with Liberty Park and play areas at Apex Park offering opportunities for fun, fresh air, and lake views. Bring a picnic, take a walk, or simply enjoy the laid-back lakeside vibes.

Smaller communities in the Shire also shine with charm and local pride. Tottenham, Albert, Fifield, Tullibigeal, and Burcher each have reserves or parks of their own – many featuring historical plaques or monuments that tell the stories of pioneering days and the people who shaped these towns. It’s a chance to learn while you play.

For the older kids (And young-at-heart), skate parks in several towns offer space to shred, scoot, or simply hang out, adding another layer to the region’s family-friendly appeal. So, pack the snacks, bring the sunscreen, and let the kids burn off some energy.
