It has stood in the park for over a decade and sits right next to the Central Stories Museum and a picture theatre, so it's an easy add-on to a town-centre stop.

Great playground, especially as there are two with one being fenced off for the littles. Great and quite up market new equipment. The museum and art gallery across the park were a fantastic bonus. The museum in particular is a fantastic look at the local history of the gold rush days and how hard the work was and how unrewarding it was for the greater percentage of the speculative miners.

Pioneer Park is a great place. We are here every year for the Craft Beer Festival and The Blossom Festival. We are locals and our kids can come down here and play anytime they like.
