Calembeen Park
Situated alongside the Caravan Park in Cushing Avenue, only about 1 km from the Post Office, this major water feature covers an area of about five hectares, and the venue offers excellent family friendly facilities, especially in summer with the popular water features including the historic diving platform.
There are three picturesque lakes that dominate this park. There is even a paddling pool for young children.
There is a pleasant walking track around the lake in Calembeen Park, accessed from Cushing Avenue (beside the caravan park). The lake abounds with native birdlife and plants, including fabulous waterlilies from late spring into summer. This undulating walk has one slightly steep section.
There are toilet & change room facilities, a free electric BBQ, and picnic settings with lovely expanses of lawn. A peaceful quiet location that is ideal for a family picnic where the children can stretch their legs.
There are two deep lakes and a 'swimming pool' section which hold redfin and tench with the odd trout or yellow belly also taken. Worms and scrub worms fished under a cork or other float in the right spot can produce redfin to one kilogram or more. Lures also produce bites. The quality of fish is often less than spectacular but it's a good spot to teach someone the way to go about catching even small fish.
