What people say
I thought this was a lovely park. Good place to stop with the kids. They could see the big kookaburra as well as lots of surrounding murals. The public toilets were probably up there with some of the nicer ones I’ve encountered. The war memorial has lots of information, as do other sculptures around the park
Rotary park is a fairly large park with tables chairs toilets as well as memorial's the BIG KOOKABURRA and murals it is also the start of the towns with hearts mural tour. The tourist information is on the northern side of the park with the famous Kurri Hot Bread shop on the southern side. Takeaways and cafe's near the western end and the Kurri Hotel at the east end. Parking is plentiful and the farmers markets are held in the park every month as well as the Nostalgia festival every year.
We were there on our way back from hunter region, thought it will be a nice shady park for a picnic but it turned out to be small, exposed park right in the middle of three streets. Though they had bbq and toilets, the ground was filthy.
Amazing place to stop and have a break. Plenty of places near-by to grab a bite to eat.
Kurri Kurri is home to the Big Kookaburra and over 60 wall murals. The park has an amazing war memorial and is an awesome area for a picnic.
