Bendigo Botanic Gardens Playground

If you haven’t taken the kids to the playground inside the Bendigo Botanic Gardens, you’re genuinely missing out. It’s one of those spots where parents actually want to stick around — the gardens setting makes it feel a world away from your typical suburban setup. The accessible design means it works for a range of kids, which isn’t something you can say about every playground in the area. Pack a picnic, because once you’re in White Hills with the gardens around you, there’s no reason to rush off anywhere.
