Mayor Anna Speedie said the $1.2 million park was overseen by Wodonga Council and a joint project by Development Victoria and Central Place.
She said it features an interactive horse sculpture, climbing bars shaped as cow’s horns and recycled sleepers from the old rail-line.
“Art is always controversial but it’s actually about telling that history,” she said.
