Victoria Park Inclusive Playspace
The Victoria Park Inclusive Playspace was opened in 2016. It was a community partnership with the City of Ballarat and the Touched by Olivia Foundation. Since its opening, it has become a major attraction with over 170,000 people visiting the site annually. The site was designed as a hub where families of all abilities could come and play together. It features sealed pathways throughout, ramps to play equipment, a variety of activities for all abilities including a large range of play panels for children with cognitive disabilities. The playground includes both accessible toilet facilities and a full “Changing Places” adult change room with full-service hoist. The picnic facilities includes accessible picnic tables throughout and there are accessible drinking fountains across the play area.
