The original rocket was built at Kirkby Park in 1972 to commemorate the Centenary of Education. It was built with money left over from the Centenary of Education Ball held as part of the celebrations. It is believed it was a suggestion of June McKinnon that something be built for the children of Moree to play on, she was right on the money, many children played and enjoyed it for many years before occupational health and safety took over. The much-loved rocket was deemed to be unsuitable and was closed.
The park consists of a kids bike track, swings, large climbing net, toilets, picnic tables, bench seats, barbeques, and a large grass area for children to run and play.
