Garden of Hope Mildura
Overview
The Garden of Hope is being developed as a great multifunctional family place on 16 acres of land by the edge of Lake Hawthorn, just out of Mildura. Garden of Hope is for all ages and people groups with a playground, games and activities for all, an 18-hole mini-golf course, a kiosk, souvenirs, café, drinks and ice-creams, and is available for various functions including birthdays, weddings, wakes and specialty groups and your special occasion.
There are also beautiful gardens filled with creative artwork and inspirational quotes with Hope as the theme.
Garden of Hope aims to provide an inspirational place for individuals, families and groups to come, relax, have fun, play games or enjoy a coffee, wander the gardens by the lake and be inspired by Hope to keep going no matter how tough it gets.
