Five-fenced-acre outdoor playground in Mooroopna with giant slides, disc golf, mazes, and the Sprout Edible Garden. Entry by gold coin donation. Dig In Cafe opens on weekends. Some attractions are periodically out of service for maintenance.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
The reason to come now is the space, low cost and variety rather than the huge adventure structures KidsTown was once known for. We think it is still worth a stop for families around Shepparton and Mooroopna, particularly with younger children who will happily move between the sandpit, swings, monkey bars, toddler area and garden, but we wouldn't currently make a long detour expecting the KidsTown of old. The miniature train remains closed due to flood damage, and the wider playground is in the middle of a long-term revitalisation. Bring a picnic and treat the playground, garden and open space as a relaxed few hours outdoors.

“Real good variety of playgrounds and great slides and monkey bars. The mazes were disappointing as they need lots of maintenance and overall the facilities could do with some paint and replacing some of the wood or giving it a treatment. The train wasn’t driving when we visited. The community garden was a highlight with lots of interesting edible plants that my children loved. Despite needing some tlc it was still worth the visit.”

“We came out on a day that there was no staff / cafe etc so it was a limited experience as the train and other attractions were obviously not available. It was still a very tidy park with lots to do - particular attractions enjoyed the most included the monkey bar park, giant slide and the maze. Was well set up with picnic tables and areas for groups to enjoy for an extended period of time.”

“Has great potential just needs some TLC, kids 4, 3 and two had a ball, could be so much more. Lots of things out of use. Would visit again with little kids. Good picnic and BBQ areas.”

Overview
KidsTown is still a playground where families can spread out and make an afternoon of it, but it is going through a period of change. Set across five acres between Shepparton and Mooroopna, the current playground includes a cubby, large sandpit, swings, toddler area, monkey bars, Track Rider and wheelchair swing, with fully fenced play spaces and plenty of shaded and undercover areas for picnics and BBQs.
For something beyond the playground, head into the Sprout Edible Garden or add a game on the nine-hole disc golf course. The garden brings a quieter change of pace, while the lawns, picnic tables and BBQ areas make KidsTown particularly easy to use for a relaxed family get-together rather than a quick playground visit.
KidsTown has been part of the local community since 1995 and is now owned and operated by Greater Shepparton City Council. Age and flood damage have taken their toll, and defective equipment was removed in 2026 as the council began planning a new masterplan for the playground. That means families who remember an older KidsTown should expect a different experience today.
