Level playing fields for football, cricket, soccer etc. A basket ball hoop off to the side, to add to the entertainment, a cricket cage for practice, exercise equipment, a kiddies safety cycle road set up, a great kids play ground, picnic and bbq facilities, gazebos, toilet facilities, a surrounding walk track, lots of parking, situated right beside kms of river walk tracks, dogs allowed on a leash.. this place ticks all the boxes. Nice to see the new bridge beside the park to allow access to the town side of the river after the last was washed away in flooding. Hats off to New Norfolk council for this great park!

I have been meaning to do a room escape for literally years now, I’m so glad I’ve finally done it, and I’m hooked! My husband and I did the jungle room and it was so intense, the puzzles are difficult but not so difficult that it’s not fun. We ended up finishing with 5 minutes to spare, which I was pleased about. Great guidance, fantastic room, I can’t wait to do the other two rooms on offer soon.
4. The Paragon Theatre

The Paragon Theatre opened on October 28, 1933 to a capacity crowd of 1150. After a chequered history which saw it gutted and repurposed as an indoor cricket stadium in 1985 before closing down for over a decade it then underwent a major restoration in the early 2000's. After being closed again for 3 years we bought the theatre in July 2017 and are continuing the restoration. During the warmer months you can enjoy dinner in the beautiful main hall before relaxing on a leather couch to watch an old classic movie, perhaps with a glass of wine/beer or one of our famous house-made whiskey choc-tops. If you don't have time for dinner and movie you can do a self-guided tour of the theatre, for a small fee, to learn about its history and just enjoy the space. Tours generally available all year round. We also have events throughout the season including musical concerts and plays so we hope you will join us in our quest to make The Paragon Theatre the entertainment hub of Western Tasmania.

This theatre is a "quiet" attraction - low publicity and on a side street but it is a wonderful attraction of Queenstown. The new owners, who also conduct a range of tours in the Gordon River and Queenstown area, have continued the restoration in great style. The theatre area, now used for regular "fine dining with a movie", is a beautiful example of an art-deco theatre, and for just a few dollars visitors are able to enjoy a self-guided tour. Don't forget the old projection room with its arc light projector.

Located in North Hobart, the State is a local independent cinema that has entertained generations of Tasmanians for over 100 years. In addition to eight cinema screens, we also have a boutique bookstore, cafe bar and rooftop cinema. Our cinema is licensed, so you can enjoy a glass of wine while enjoying a movie!

Penguin is just an incredibly beautiful seaside town... it feels inviting as you walk along the foreshore. There is seating carefully placed for all ages ... so if you need to sit under a tree, they have arranged for that... or on the edge of the water... or would you like to recline. They have been very diverse in their approach to making the area inviting for visitors. Of course as you get out of the car, there is the eye catching Tardis along the foreshore. Never heard of the Tardis? Seriously is that possible... didn't everyone have to watch Dr Who as a child and see the villainous Daleks? They gave me nightmares... no really! They absolutely terrified me. However the Tardis being small on the outside and magically big inside appealed to my imagination. But moving on... focus! Stay with me here... the foreshore area overlooks a pristine beach and it has cafes directly opposite. It's a great place to spend some time.
