Public toilet closed at Alfred Nicholas Memorial Garden lake

The public toilet block at the lake area of Alfred Nicholas Memorial Garden is closed due to plumbing issues. Alternative temporary public toilet facilities are provided on the main drive near the front gate (Sherbrooke Road), open 10am-4:30pm daily.

When closed, please use the permanent public disabled toilet located near the ranger’s office (10 metres from the temporary block).

Alternatively, George Tindale Memorial Garden provides public toilet facilities, 2km further along Sherbrooke Road.

Temporary closure of lake islands

Following heavy visitor use over the spring and summer period, the Alfred Nicholas Memorial Garden’s Lake Islands have been temporarily closed.

Grass compaction caused by excess wear and tear causes the bare soil underneath to go hard. This presents visitor risk issues.

Park staff will progressively repair and rehabilitate the islands over the coming months, with the aim to re-open when conditions allow.
