About Else Mitchell Park
Bushland and Creek at Else Mitchell Park
Else Mitchell Park has bushland as its defining setting, with magnificent Euc deanei trees shading the grounds. A creek runs through the park and is crossed by cute bridges, giving children a natural area to explore. Lots of open space sits alongside the bush. The park is set back from the road, which keeps it peaceful for visitors who want to relax or read in the shade. The Else-Mitchell Park Bushcare Group volunteers here, removing invasive weeds, addressing stormwater runoff damage, assessing vegetation and encouraging the bush to expand.
Playground at Else Mitchell Park
Else Mitchell Park has a playground with a basic set of play equipment and a sculpture that kids can climb. The mix of play equipment and bushland lets children switch between structured play and natural areas, so active kids have lots to do. The playground is pretty small and does not have heaps of equipment, so it suits a few children better than large groups.
Picnic Area at Else Mitchell Park
Else Mitchell Park has a covered picnic area with two tables, giving families a sheltered place to eat. The park also has a bubbler for drinking water and refilling bottles. The open space around the picnic area leaves room for blankets and games, and the trees shade picnickers on warm days. Because there are no public toilets, families with toddlers should prepare before arriving.
