Halls Gap Playground — Attraction in Halls Gap

It's nice playground with a variety of equipment for kids of all ages. There are a lot of picnic tables nearby where you can bring your food, enjoy the view and let kids run amok. The shops and eateries are just across the road which makes it very convenient and very busy especially during public holidays. It's hard to find a parking nearby though there are plenty of dedicated parking places. Also, since the area is full of people on e-bikes and cycles and kids running, you need to be careful when driving or parking.

There are couple of issues though which I noticed. The garbage bins were overflowing since it was public holiday and rubbish was just spilling nearby. The public toilets are nice but the wet toilet tissues were just dumped on the floor which was disgusting. Also there was no soap which is almost criminal during current pandemic time.

If the council takes care of these minor issues, this place could become even better and safer...

We come here quite often with grandchildren. They love the playground. Great range of play equipment. However....the surrounding area could do with some attention.

The toilets on weekends too, we have often found to be absolutely filthy! There needs to be soap available too. This prevents disease! Not good enough! Visitors must get a very poor impression. I imagine it would be a substantial cost to employ weekend staff but these areas need regular attention on weekends and public holidays. We need to attract visitors not discourage them...

Playgrounds like this are superb and located nicely between the caravan park and the shops and near the pool it is ideal for kids. There is something for everyone here. A nearby picnic shelter also gives it more of a reason to stop and let the kids play. The local pool is also nearby and with grassy lawn areas is a nice place to hang out. Please don’t feed the kangaroos. They are wild and although cute and cuddly, can be a pest and potentially dangerous if you feed them. Wheelchair friendly. Kid friendly. Good parking. Shops across the road if your need food and...
