Rotary Park, Alexandra

If you are looking for access to the mighty Clutha Mata-au River this is where you need to head. Named in recognition of the Alexandra Rotary Club for their involvement in the park’s development, Rotary Park is situated at the end of Dunorling Street in Alexandra near the river bank.


The Park is a great place to launch a boat or to just sit and take in the surrounding views and particularly the distinct colours of the Clutha Mata-au River. Only a short stroll from the town centre, Rotary Park is a great spot to meet for lunch, have a picnic under one of the large willow trees or have a BBQ at the coin-operated BBQ on the site.


Located at the park is an impressive 2.5m high steel and fiberglass sculpture commemorating the 150th anniversary of the discovery of gold in Central Otago. Unveiled during the Alexandra Thyme Festival in November 2012 the sculpture designed by Bannockburn artist Alan Waters depicts three mountain ranges with a central gold nugget.
