The playground has been funded with $1.3 million from the NSW government's Stronger Communities Fund and $300,000 from Dubbo Regional Council.
It includes wheelchair accessible barbecues, a flying fox and a liberty swing.
Tracy Hanna, who started the push for the liberty swing in the park, said she was absolutely overwhelmed at how amazing the adventure playground was. She said she had never seen anything like it in NSW.

"It means that families with children who are able-bodied and those with disabilities will be able to come and enjoy a park together. They don't have to say 'we have to go' because there's a child just sitting there and watching, they can actually be part of it," Ms Hanna said.
"It kills me thinking of the children in wheelchairs sitting on the sidelines watching all the other kids play. That doesn't have to happen anymore."

Ms Hanna said even at the tables, those in wheelchairs could sit next to their families.
"The accessibility is amazing," she said.
It's been 12 months of fundraising to have the $30,000 liberty swing, which can be used by children in wheelchairs, in the playground. It all started when Ms Hanna put a post on Facebook calling for better accessibility.
"I'm quite emotional. I cannot wait to see the first child on there. I just want to sit down and watch them enjoy it," she said.
"It was a lot of hard work but worth every second. I'm still in shock we actually did it."
Ms Hanna said she was grateful to everyone in the community who donated, especially the Titan Macquarie Mud Run which donated $10,000 towards the swing.
The final touches are being completed at the Regional Botanic Garden adventure playground before it will be open to the public.
When it's completed it will have a coffee shop, made from an unused Wellington building. There'll be a range of equipment from a flying fox to a waterfall where children can make the water flow down the rocks.
The playground will also have more than 1000 trees.
