Lions Park hugs the bank of Gunbower Creek near the centre of town. The original Park had established trees, irrigated lawns and aging infrastructure. The park is a meeting and recreation space for visitors and locals and a gateway to the significant wetlands of Gunbower Island.

A concept plan was developed in collaboration with the community. Our brief from the Campaspe Shire Council was to develop and expand this concept and provide documentation plans for construction of the revitalised park. The developed park includes:
- Accessible footpaths
- Fishing platform and all-abilities canoe launch
- Natural play space with standard and custom nature-play items
- BBQ shelter
- Relocation of the historical tractor display
- Park furniture including seats, picnic tables, bins and flag pole renewal,
- Trees and understorey planting
- Riparian and aquatic planting along creek bank
- Irrigated lawns
