Perfect for a sunny afternoon in town, the Mansfield Botanic Garden is open at all times and offers barbecue facilities, picnic shelters and tables, a playground and toilets. 

Bordered by Fords Creek the gardens are a beautiful mix of native and introduced species. A popular location for walkers and runners, the park is also just the spot for a game of kick-to-kick or cricket with the kids. 

Dogs are also allowed to run off-leash within the gardens when accompanied by an owner.
