Newtown Park

Newtown Park was initially laid out in a pattern intended to mirror the design of the Union Jack. Avenues of trees crossed the park from corner to corner, linking with trees planted around the perimeter. Today the essence of this original plan can still be seen, and is being paid due regard in the ongoing task of enhancing the park.

The park is also home to the State Rose Garden with more than 1500 bushes and is a draw-card for rose lovers from early spring until late autumn when the blooms are at their peak. The beauty of the roses is complemented by attractive park furniture.
