30 year celebration in Wallace Park

Noosa Parks Association (NPA) Environment Centre is conducting open days during the Wallace Park 30 year celebration event.

The centre will be open for interested members of the public to come along and browse on 15, 16 and 17 November from 10am to 2pm.

Volunteers will be on hand to discuss the Environment Centre and explain Noosa Parks Association’s projects and activities over a friendly cuppa.

The Environment Centre was constructed in 1993 after Noosa Council designated Wallace Park Precinct for community use.

Built at the same time as other important community facilities such as Noosa Library and Noosa Leisure Centre, it has provided a bright, airy space for meetings both of NPA and other like-minded groups as well as for educational purposes and social gatherings.

Located behind the library and next to the Bridge Club and Wallace House, the centre is the home of Friday Environment Forum conducted the second and fourth Friday each month.

On Friday 17 November, Valda McLean will lead an interpretive birding walk in the grounds of Wallace Park especially for newcomers who are invited to meet her in the car park at 8.30am. If you are interested in Noosa’s history and the environment, come along on the open days.
