Kyneton Community Park

The interactive splash pad features small bubblers that cascade water over rocks, and larger water jets that splash water onto the splash pad for children to play in and walk through.

The splash pad features a range of timed jets and bubblers linked to foot sensors to provide children a place to explore, splash, connect, create and play.

Operating times and conditions of use

The system is automated to operate between 9am and 8pm in summer months and foot buttons are only active during these times. 

Recent upgrades to the splash park have improved water quality and system reliability so people of all ages and abilities can enjoy an interactive nature-based splash pad experience.

Signs placed at access paths to the water play feature will detail the conditions of use. Parental supervision of children using the water play feature is required. No dogs or pets are allowed. Food, drink and glass is banned.

This community-led project was completed in June 2017 after years of planning, campaigning and fundraising by a local committee. The park was designed by Laidlaw and Laidlaw Landscape Architects and its features reflect local history and current town features. The park was completed with funds from the Australian Government ($500,000), the Victorian Government ($300,000), Council ($100,000) and community contributions ($45,000).
