bollygum park, kinglake

The first time we saw this place, Mamma’s eyes almost popped out at the site of this magnificent playspace. The playground is amazing. It features the characters from Garry Fleming's story Bollygum and the different sections around the space are named after the characters and settings in the book.

It is a fantastic wooden park with great of options for your little ones (which Mamma always loves) and heaps of things to move through to keep things interesting. It is a very noisy park as well with STACKS of musical structures, things to bash, crash, hit and stomp on. The top of the park is great for imaginative play with Platypus's house and a dry river bed that runs down into the centre of the playground (even some fishing rods set up to catch some dinner!). Heaps of climbing and typical park features, including a great swing set up with a roped birds nest swing (much easier to hold on to). 

Mamma’s special mention: Throughout the year on the second Sunday of the month (with a break during winter), the Bollygum Community Market is held here. The Christmas market is always a brilliant event with the market and community carols happening all at once!
