About this place
What to expect
This parkland incorporates the prehistoric flora and fauna native to the area, the region's Aboriginal cultural history and the town's railway heritage connection with the early Western line. Diverse flora including wildflowers and wattles, White Cypress Pine and Chinchilla White Gums feature in the Parkland's garden. Be inspired by the Demonstration Garden or walk along the meandering Ephemeral Creek which mirrors the banks of nearby Charleys Creek. Enjoy a splash of water when the showpiece watermelon fills up and empties in the custom-built watermelon Water Play area. The waterpark offers a ton of fun for the children during the summer months. Enjoy a relaxing picnic on the beautifully maintained lawns around the park. The parkland is located behind the Chinchilla Visitor Information Centre and The Big Melon - be sure to call in and browse our local goods and get your photo at the iconic "Big Melon".
