Shepparton All Abilities Playground

Free community playground catering for all abilities participants with many different kinds of equipment for physical play, various sensory experiences and plenty of open space for moving around. The venue is fully fenced and provides all amenities to visitors.

Designed and maintained with access as a key priority, the playground provides a series of ramps and structures that allow for children and parents in wheelchairs or with limited mobility to move throughout the area. 

A 1.8m high fence provides a safe and secure environment for children and the opportunity for parents and carers to relax and enjoy outings without the constant worry of children moving outside of the play area.   Three family sized toilets and change rooms form part of the playground, with all designed to cater for wheelchair access and mobility. Several picnic areas are available (with and without shelter) and an electric BBQ.
