We love a playground with lake views and Bennett Park in Valentine delivers. Located lakeside in Valentine, there’s plenty of fun play equipment in this playground which was refurbished in 2021.
It has a small climbing structure with steps so can kids can climb up themselves.
It features two slides so that kids can race each other down the slide.
Located in this play equipment is a spiderweb climbing wall as well as a wobbly balance rope
There is a regular and baby swing as well as a group swing so kids (or mum or dad) can pile in and swing together.
Kids can practice their balance on the horizontal timber beams.
For kids who love noise, they can bang away on the musical instrument pipes.
There is also a see saw and a small roundabout.
For flooring, it’s a combination of softfall paths and bark chips.
If you feel like a run around with the kids, there is grass near the playground as well.
Parents can sit around the playground on benches and sandstone blocks. There’s also a barbecue in this playground with the amenities block nearby.
There is also direct access to the lake so please supervise your children at this playground.
If you need coffee or snacks, visit the nearby shops at Valentine.
