The first stage included a timber boat called the Salt Junk Sarah, a treehouse, characters from The Magic Pudding and a fire hose which was featured in The Magic Pudding book series by Norman Lindsay.
Families who attended the opening were treated to stories, a treasure hunt, a BBQ and pudding.
Landscape architect David Hay said there would also be a hat tree made out of sculptured steel, with 15 to 20 hats from characters from The Magic Pudding hanging from the tree.
He said the playground would also include the residence of Watkin Wombat inside a hollow tree.
The playground will be incorporated into the Lindsay Arts Trail, which aims to reveal the town's history through the eyes of the Lindsay family.
It is located at the former site of APEX Park at the corner of Napier and Raglan streets.
The playground is the result of a partnership between Hepburn Shire, the State Government and the Creswick community.
