We see a lot of Rotary branded Community projects but we often forget the wonderful work done by Rotaractors, many of whom go onto membership of Rotary Club. We spotted this very scenic park while travelling through Gympie from Hervey Bay to the Sunshine Coast.
The plaque reads:
“In 1977/78 members of the Gympie Rotaract Club constructed a Children’s playground in this area as a community project and named the area Rotaract Park. In later years the Gympie/Cooloola Rotaract Club donated seating to the area. In recognition of their efforts, the Gympie Regional Council has since renamed the area ROTARACT PLACE and merged it into the general upgraded park area.”
The plaque even has some bird droppings attesting to it being a perfect landing spot for the plentiful birdlife in Gympie.
