Barwon Valley Fun Park Playground

Why parents pick this

Barwon Valley Fun Park on Barrabool Road in Belmont is one of Geelong's best-loved free playgrounds, famous for having the only flying fox in the region. Set beside the Barwon River with a clever river-ecology theme, it packs in a huge open sandpit with diggers, birds-nest swings, climbing frames with nets and ladders, spinning discs and a dedicated toddler area full of springers and a low slide structure. Wheelchair-accessible paths, shelters, BBQs and picnic tables along the river make it an easy all-day family destination. With separate zones for toddlers and big kids plus riverside walking tracks, it suits a wide age range in one visit.
