There are plenty of things to see and do in and around
Blayney. For the energetic, or those who would like a leisurely swim, there’s
the Blayney Centrepoint Sport & Liesure Centre which is an impressive
fitness facility containing a gymnasium, dry court facilities and 3 indoor
heated pools.
Heritage Park is found on Adelaide Street,
Blayneys major thoroughfare and is an excellent place to stop and rest or play.
There’s plenty of fun for all the kids with an Adventure Playground which includes
a flying fox, rope climbing frame, mouse house and bike track as well as the usual slippery
dip and monkey bars. Adults are well
catered for with BBQ & disabled toilet facilities, seated tables, rose garden and an attractive
pond with a rippling creek to relax by.
For something different take a short drive to the Blayney Wind Farm located near Mount Macquarie, above Carcoar Dam. Fifteen wind turbines 45 metres high are able
produce enough renewable energy to supply the annual usage of 3500 average
homes.
Scenic Carcoar Dam is a great place to enjoy water sports such as skiing or sailing and is a great
spot for fishing and camping. There are also some lovely camping and
recreational areas along the pretty Belubula River which is also popular for Fly Fishing.
