It’s inside the pretty landscaped surrounds of the Botanic Garde...ns in Bowral, and has all the usual fun like swings, slides and things to climb and explore. Cleverly it’s been fully fenced to keep everyone safe and has easy level access for prams and wheelchairs. It’s open 9am-5pm and is a really great new addition for kids.
