Tom Rickard’s ParkAn excellent walk! |
![]() The very start of the creek was once the swimming hole for the Lindsay family (after whom Lindsay Road was named), but had suffered from development over the years
Silt from building sites and general urban runoff had combined with weeds and feral fauna to make the area quite unattractive and a far cry from the natural state. |

The area is now known as Tom Rickard’s Park, in recognition of his tireless efforts. |
![]() Enter off Pine Street, look for the Tom Rickards sign where the creek crosses the road.
The birdlife is flourishing in the lily-covered billabong, the flow modulated by storm water runoff. |
Please respect the privacy of the home owners as you wander through the area.
You can duck (pardon the pun) out into Royal Drive to incorporate the park into a walk around the top of the CBD.
