Harold Welsey Knight Park also known as Whitebridge Park is a fully fenced playground with lots of play equipment.  This includes slides, fireman pole, rope climbing bridges & ladders, roundabout, seesaw & cubby house. 

The park is set in natural grounds with a large grassed area, picnic tables & covered picnic shelter along with large gum trees that also provide shade.  

There is car parking available just next to the park (accessed via Waran Road), and there are a couple of public toilets located in the car park. There is also a water fountain available, but it’s a bit tricky to spot – it is hidden down in the back corner of the park, adjacent to the car park. The park is very close to the local Whitebridge shops, making it easy to grab a coffee or some morning tea for a picnic beforehand.
