A Gift of Tranquility from Lions Goolwa

Tucked away on Dawson Street in Goolwa, Murray Smith Park offers locals and visitors a peaceful space to connect with nature, reflect, and share meaningful moments. It’s a place where you can immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of the surrounding wildlife, enjoy the calming rhythm of water from the lake’s central fountain, and take in the serenity from the comfort of a beautifully crafted gazebo.

This striking gazebo—built and donated by the Lions Club of Goolwa—stands as a symbol of community spirit and service. It provides shelter and shade, whether you’re hosting a family BBQ, enjoying a quiet morning coffee, or catching up with friends surrounded by nature’s soundtrack. It’s a reminder of what Lions work is all about: enhancing public spaces and enriching lives.

The park includes barbecue facilities, toilets, and is dog-friendly, making it a truly accessible and welcoming spot for all. Whether you’re stopping in on a road trip, organizing a community event, or simply looking for a tranquil corner to gather your thoughts, Murray Smith Park is a gentle invitation to slow down and reconnect.

The Lions Club of Goolwa is proud to have played a role in creating this space. We’re committed to building not only physical structures, but emotional and social wellbeing—one project at a time.

Next time you’re in the area, take a detour into Dawson Street. Sit by the lake. Listen to the birds. Share a meal. Experience the generosity and care that makes our community special.
