Lauriston Park
A large area of landscaped parkland. It is accessed through an entrance at the junction of the A8 East Tamar Highway and the B83 Bridport Highway.
This large open area is great for dog walking as there is so much space. It is possible to drive through to the bottom of the park, but it is advised that vehicles do not leave the track as some sections of the park are wetter than they appear. Due to the size of Lauriston Park, hundreds of different walking routes can be devised, including those through the open paddocks, the dam, and the wooded areas.
Lauriston Park also provides access to the Tippogoree Hills Mountain Bike Trails.
Location: Bridport Road & East Tamar Highway
Facilities: Carpark, walking trails
