A Stroll Through Centenary Park:
From the Community Centre to Rae Gardens and back again
As you leave the community centre carpark and stroll along the path you will pass the playgroup toddlers play ground with a sandy base perfect for your little ones to play in. The play equipment is designed for the littlest members of you family.
Continuing along the path you will pass play equipment for bigger kids and a large grassed picnic area. The picnic area has free to use gas fired barbecues as well as tables and benches for your convenience. Shortly the path splits where you can cross Daily Street and stroll around Rae Gardens.
Rae Gardens
Rae Gardens is a pleasant small park that has two lakes, each with a fountain. The two lakes are joined by a stream that continues to flow under the road and back into the lake on Centenary Park. The path from Centenary Park continues the entire way around Rae gardens. Along the way there are benches and seats over looking the two lakes where you can have a seat and watch the bird life that lives there. Birds such as black swans, Australasian Grebe and a variety of ducks just to mention a few. After soaking in the beauty of Rae Gardens, we cross Daly Street once more, re-entering the peaceful embrace of Centenary Park.
Back in Centenary Park
Continuing along the path we split from earlier, is a large grassy knoll. Perfect for throwing down a blanket and having a picnic lunch on one side and a great view of the lake on the other. A bit further along is another play ground including a a slide for the kids. Still a bit further along the path up on the top of another grassy mound is a gazebo with a good view of the lake.
The last leg of our stroll
Our path circles around the park, each step bringing into view the diverse facilities that Centenary Park offers. Further along the walking trail and you arrive at the back of the oval. Across the oval is the community centre where our stroll began. Before we get there you will pass a series of exercise equipment stations for the fitness enthusiasts among us to follow.
From sporting reserves, primarily used for cricket and rugby, to the large lake area perfect for a reflective pause, the park serves as a communal backyard for the residents and visitors of Belmont. As we complete our loop, we find ourselves back at the Community Centre, the heart of the park. This modern multi-purpose building is not just a starting point for our walk but a hub of activities, events, and gatherings.
Centenary Park is more than just a park; it’s a reflection of the community’s soul. Whether you’re seeking a quiet stroll, a family outing, or a place to connect with friends, this park has something for everyone.
