PIONEER PARK

Public BBQ

Pioneer Park in Thorpdale presents itself as one of those quietly perfect spots that country Victoria does so well. Nestled beneath a canopy of mature trees, this well-maintained park offers the sort of peaceful respite that makes you wonder why you don't visit more often. The playground, thoughtfully fenced and shaded, caters to children of all ages with modern equipment that actually works – a pleasant surprise in regional areas. The facilities here are genuinely impressive: clean, accessible unisex toilets with proper disabled access and baby change facilities that suggest someone actually thought about what families need. The BBQ facilities are in good nick, though you might find yourself tempted by the Thorpdale Bakery directly opposite – which doubles as the local Post Office, because this is country Australia where such delightful practicalities still exist.
