Mayor Ben Shields has confirmed there are plans to add a temporary cafe to the Dubbo Regional Botanic Gardens precinct in the coming months.

It would be installed near the $1.75 million Adventure Playground, which attracted hundreds of people on March 31, its opening day.

Cr Shields acknowledged a "cafe's certainly needed" as he spoke to the Daily Liberal at the opening.

"We're looking at a temporary cafe in the coming months, between the Japanese Gardens and the Adventure Playground," he said.

"But look a permanent cafe is a must in this facility, in this regional botanic gardens, particularly when we expand it even more so, it's certainly a must.

"It's something particularly I can imagine a lot of mums and dads will enjoy."

When asked what kind of timeframe there might be for a permanent cafe, the mayor said he could not provide one yet.

"I do know the temporary cafe will be ready very shortly, but the permanent one, I'd like to see it up and going sooner rather than later," he said.

"It's part of the Wiradjuri tourism experience we're looking at putting out here as well in the coming future."

The playground offers about 40 play elements, and has been designed to be inclusive of all abilities.

It has a Liberty Swing that was completed through $30,000 of fundraising from disability advocate Tracy Hanna, and an amenities block that complies with the "Changing Spaces" guidelines, completed with lifting devices and an adult change table.

Cr Shields anticipated the playground would become "a tourist attraction in its own right".

"It's going to actually draw more people to Dubbo to understand that Dubbo is the capital of western NSW, that people can come here and it's got attractions for all people...," he said.

On Friday Cr Shields, fellow councillors, and senior council staff officially opened the playground, with a plaque installed to commemorate the occasion. 

The playground is open from 7:30am - 6pm through the pedestrian gate on the eastern side of the garden.
