Centenary Park Playground, Fairview Street, Wycheproof
An interesting park with an eclectic mix of interesting elements. Let's get the playground out of the way first. There is a structure with wave slide, scrambling wall, curved slide, high chain bridge, spiral ladder, arched walkway, shop front and balance beam with obstacles. There is a separate area with arched monkey bars and stand on spinner and another area with swings.
The south side is ringed by a log cabin (can't go inside), windmill and bird aviaries which included peacocks, a wide variety of pigeons and cockatoos (need to take note of the sign "Caution - Birds may bite").
On the north side are some more play items including a cute horse springer, big bee springer (for two people) and a purple whale springer. Next to this area which has shady trees is a shelter with seven tables and BBQs. The park is a real triumph and has grassy areas dotted with trees and gardens. There are toilets and water tap. There is even a shaded car parking area and information boards about the town.
You may even find out that Wycheproof is the half-way town between Melbourne and Mildura (being 285km from both), Wycheproof means "grass on hill", that Mt Wycheproof at 43m above the surrounding plain is the smallest registered mountain in the world and the railway line is one of only two in Australia running through the main street.
