Bollygum Park is a magical playground based around the award winning children's book Bollygum by Garry Fleming.
You will be enchanted as you wander along the shady paths of this two and a half acre wonderland, from Bower Birds Nest with its sparkling blue treasures, across the bridge over the creek and pay a visit to platypus, whose house sits on the bank of the dry creek bed.
Continue down the path, bordered by native plantings, indigenous message sticks, colourful storyboards and flora information panels to Wombats house with its artistically carved story wall, slides, mirrors and wombats hiding spot. You can enjoy Wombat's favourite fishing spot by the large sandpit and he has even left a few fishing poles out for you.
Frogmouths House is the main play structure of the park and has senior and junior sections so no one is left out. Among its many features are a climbing wall, monkey bars, rope bridges, flying fox, wave slide, bird nest swings, dual metal slide for racing (under cover) and many noisy musical elements and a talk and listen tube.
There is an architecturally designed skate park adjoining the playground with a bowl.
Took the kids up to Bollygum Park on a Sunday and it was well worth the drive. The playground is unlike anything you find closer to the city. It is based on the children’s book Bollygum, so there is real character to it with all the little story details throughout. The wooden play equipment is solid and well designed, with enough variety to keep different ages busy for hours. Free BBQs and plenty of picnic tables made it easy to set up for lunch. The skate park next door kept the older ones happy too. A genuinely great spot.

If you want your kids to enjoy a perfect playground, I highly recommend this park. It's awesome and has everything a child needs. Surrounded by lush nature, you can hear beautiful bird songs, and sometimes you can even see wild bunnies. My child loves playing here🌳🐇🎶

Where do I start wow just amazing breathtaking views. Kids absolutely loved it so many different play areas and it is very clean place. It also has its own toilets. Be mindful of the rubbish you will need to bring your bags. ( no rubbish bins in this place) but it’s worth it, as the place stays clean this way.
