Whether you're passing through or exploring Nhill, Jaypex Park provides a refreshing stop to unwind and connect with nature. The park also hosts regular events, including the Nhill Park Run course and markets. Also situated in Jaypex Park is the John Shaw Neilson Cottage.

Neilson was one of Australia's great lyric poets who wrote about his life in and around Nhill. The park provides access to Nhill Lake via a boardwalk.
