Friends of Newport Lakes

Newport Lakes is a bushland oasis created from a former bluestone quarry and rubbish tip site in the middle of Newport. The park is 33 hectares in size and is a great place for a picnic with family and friends, a leisurely walk or just to relax in a tranquil bushland setting. The lakes area of the park has been extensively revegetated using native plants, with more than 200 species of plants and 85 species of birds recorded here.
