victoria park inclusive play space, ballarat
/
Tucked inside leafy Victoria Park in Ballarat is one of the region’s most loved playgrounds. Open since 2016, Victoria Park Inclusive Play Space isn’t just any park – it’s part of the incredible Livvi’s Place Network, created by the Touched by Olivia Foundation to make sure kids of all abilities can play side by side. It’s the kind of space that makes Mamma so happy as it means every child gets the chance to join in the fun.
Designed with inclusivity at its heart, the playground features wide accessible paths, sensory play elements and equipment that encourages kids to play together. You’ll find a carousel, multiple swings (including accessible options), imaginative play zones with pretend shops and shelters, and even a sensory-friendly space where kids can explore at their own pace.
Kids who love a bit of adventure won’t be disappointed either. The playground is packed with fun features including a flying fox, big climbing structures, slides and an all-year-round water play area that’s perfect for warmer days. There are sand play zones, musical instruments and interactive elements dotted throughout the space, meaning little explorers can easily spend hours moving from one activity to the next.
There are plenty of practical perks too. The playground is fully fenced, which gives a bit of extra peace of mind for families with runners. Around the play space you’ll also find change area for your little loves, grass for picnics or ball games, shaded areas, shelters and nearby public toilets – everything you need for an easy, relaxed park day.
It might not be brand new, but over a decade on this inclusive playground continues to be one of Ballarat’s standout family spaces – proof that thoughtful design and a focus on accessibility never go out of style.
