Located just off State Highway 8 at the southern end of Roxburgh is the town’s premier recreation park named after King George V (1865-1936).
The Park is popular with locals as well a welcome rest and comfort stop for travellers en route. Featuring a large children’s playground, this park is also home to a traditional merry-go-round and an old tractor. Just a short 20-metre walk will take you up to the Lookout and War Memorial where you get fantastic views over the town centre and Teviot Valley.
The park has many mature oaks, which provide welcome shade on those hot summer days, and features a BBQ area to entertain family and friends. The park also includes a monument commemorating 150 years of pastoral farming in the Teviot Valley designed and created by local artist Bill Clarke. The two tonne steel sculpture features an early pastoral farming scene with a farmer and his dog. The latest sculptural addition to the park is a larger than life stainless steel Hare sculpture, donated to the community by the Rotary Club of Roxburgh and Districts and created by local Forged and Crafted artists Bill Clarke.
