Launceston City Park is more than a children’s playground or great place for family picnics.
The beautiful park has a deep and interesting history of events and gatherings.
For a brief period in 1808, Lt Col Paterson,at the Government Cottage, exercised authority over NSW after Governor Bligh was over thrown.
In 2011, the site of the government cottage was marked out to celebrate the bicentenary of the visit of Governor Macquarie to Launceston in 1811.
Since that time City Park has been the venue of a wide range of festivals,concerts, protests,and gatherings.
