Hotham Park provides a picturesque open space for adventure, relaxation, activities, and eating - all in one location along the river. Enjoy the natural beauty and purpose-built picnic or BBQ spaces while the kids are playing. Alternatively, delicious meals and drinks are available at the 124 café, which has outdoor seats overlooking the play area's action.
The park area is crammed with heavy-duty, wooden play equipment designed for fun and learning, including a flying fox, great for both older and younger children. While the kids are playing, you can't help but notice the breathtaking scenery of rolling hills and shimmering river water. Swings, slides, rockers, a climbing boulder, a huge netting, rocks, stumps, ropes, and some water play round out the experience.
At the park's popular skatepark zone, older kids will have more fun with skateboards, bikes, and scooters. BMX riders can also use the pump track, which contains swooping, twisty bends, and hills.

Not only that, but with a basketball court and an outdoor gym, there are multiple activities for the entire family to enjoy and make the most of this multifaceted location and surrounding beauty.
There is also a kayak launch ramp down along the river. The river reaches its crest in the spring.
Take a walk along one of the riverbanks walk trails for a more quiet experience. In the summer, you can cross the weir to the other side of the river and see the wildlife along the river's edge. The Hotham River/Ranford walk trail continues east along the old railway track to Ranford Pool, returning to Boddington via the riverbank when river levels allow.

"It's a fantastic adventure park for kids, with a skate and BMX area," said visitor Karen Ward. I wanted to keep it a secret."
