Directions:

This river park is in the heart of Wellington, where the Bell River joins the Macquarie. If coming from the Molong-Orange direction follow the Mitchell Highway through town toward Dubbo, but turn left into Gobolion Street just before the bridge crosses the Macquarie river. Follow this down until you go over the low-level bridge and the Park is on your left. From Dubbo direction - cross the main bridge and turn immediately right into Gobolion Street – then proceed to the low-level bridge etc.
