Centennial Park — Attraction in Somerville

Lively place, strolled down here twice now and has been littered with activities, people and campavans. Play ground, amphitheatre, bbq, walk ways, info boards with lots of history and map of kallgoolie. School race day was on so stood around watching that. Alot of tired travellers parking up to take a nap and have a break from their journey, green grass everywhere.
