About this rest area

Lawrence Memorial Park offers a serene setting along the Clarence River, complete with a boat ramp, jetty, and convenient access to the town centre. Despite recent restrictions on overnight stays, the park is beloved for its excellent facilities, including well-maintained toilets, BBQ areas, and ample fishing opportunities. The local store and Hotel provide resources and culinary delights, and the friendly community atmosphere enhances the appeal of the park. Grassroots efforts are underway to restore overnight accommodation possibilities.

Lawrence Memorial Park, a serene riverside destination located by the Clarence River, is known for its convenient boat ramp and jetty. It boasts of well-maintained facilities, including shaded spots, all making it a preferred choice for both locals and tourists. The park, suddenly under the restriction of no overnight stays due to a council decision, is seeing local businesses band together to reverse this move. Apart from the nature retreat, the local area hosts a well-stocked general store and a hotel renowned for exceptional food. The park offers well-maintained toilets and barbeque setups and opens up opportunities for ample fishing. The welcoming local community adds a charming touch to the park. Unfortunately, the council's recent decision presently darkens this scenario.
