Cook Park is located in the central part of Orange, along the Mitchell Highway that passes through town - just past the main shopping centre when heading towards Dubbo. The Park has lovely gardens and beautiful old shade trees - some planted in the 1880s. Many of these trees look magnificent during the autumn months when the leaves change colour. Apparently this is a popular spot for weddings, providing a beautiful backdrop for that special photos. Cook Park has a duck pond, aviaries, fernery and glasshouse - plenty of lovely places for a picnic sitting on the grass.
If you are towing a caravan through Orange then this is a good spot to park as there is room along the side roads to pull up safely (some of the other areas in town have trees overhanging the road and too low for caravans). There are several cafes close by so you can leave the van and take a short walk through the park to find a great coffee - try Byng Street Cafe.
