Dubbed the aeroplane park by locals, due to its aeronautical theme including a replica RAAF cargo plane and control tower (complete with x-ray machine and radar screen), this award-winning playground is appropriate for kids of all ages and abilities.

Sky blue pathways painted with cumulus clouds connect play areas; from the natural amphitheatre and interactive flower garden to the ‘parachute’ swings and bandstand.

Well-lit until late, Lobley Park is ideal for family and friends to get together for a picnic with plenty of shelters and electric barbecues available.
