Civic Park Playground
📍 Drouin, VIC
Civic Park Playground in Drouin offers a large open play space with multiple slides, swings, BBQ areas with undercover shelters, water pools, walking paths, and a beautiful rotunda — well-suited for birthday parties and picnics.
Fantastic play area! We had a 5th birthday party here & it was the 1st time everyone had been here. Somewhere new. The adults were able to sit, relax & enjoy the time without the kids being over us/under our feet, not one child said they were bored! All of the kids had a ball!! Bikes, scooters, trikes, skateboards are a must! There is plenty of room for all of it! The water play was a little disappointing however the kids all still made the best of it. The park was clean & tidy, toilets were very clean & well stocked with paper, apart from the usual public toilet smell which can't be helped anyway. Needs a tap or 2 in the park area or around the benches/BBQ area for hand washing or utensil washing. Otherwise we will be back for sure!!
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families wanting a full outdoor picnic day with space for kids to roam and adults to relax without hovering. The multiple undercover BBQ areas make it genuinely practical for birthday parties and group gatherings. Kids aged 3–12 get the most out of the equipment variety. Arrive early on weekends to claim a BBQ shelter.

“A superb playground. My great-grandson loves it. The old playground was dismantled by Drouin Rotary Club and shipped off to Sri Lanka where it was rebuilt for the local children there by yet another local Rotary Club. It's just another example of what your Rotary Club is doing in Drouin. Come and join us and enjoy giving something back to your community.”

“There is plenty of equipment and 3 or 4 different undercover bbq areas, which is very handy as we have had a kids' birthday there and was great. Get in early for the BBQ area.”
