The Rocket Playground

Right next to the lake and close to the Rose Garden, this one’s a proper local favourite for families in Benalla. The rocket-themed setup keeps kids genuinely entertained — there’s climbing, tunnels, slides, and swings, so even the hard-to-impress ones find something to do. Shade trees take the edge off on hot days, and the open grass field gives kids room to burn off whatever energy the playground didn’t. Parents can actually relax here — good sightlines, benches, picnic tables, toilets nearby, and easy parking. Suits the 2-to-12 crowd well, and the walking path around the lake makes it worth sticking around after playtime.
