Playground

If you’re heading to the Botanic Gardens or the zoo anyway, there’s a playground here that makes the whole trip worth extending. It’s one of those spots where the kids can burn off energy while you actually get to enjoy the surroundings — the gardens are genuinely lovely and the zoo is right there. Families in Rockhampton have been coming to this area for years, and it’s easy to see why it keeps pulling people back. Pair it with a round at the nearby golf course and you’ve got a solid full day out in The Range.
