LIONS CENTENARY PARK FORMALLY OPENED on 5th September 2018
Lions Clubs internationally celebrated 100 years of Lionism during the year 2017-18 and the Woolgoolga Club worked in conjunction with Coffs Harbour City Council to upgrade and refurbish the Park (Formerly APEX Park ) and the facilities as a Lion’s Centennial project.
The project was completed early in 2018 by Coffs Harbour City Council and contractors, with funding provided by the Coffs Harbour City Council, Lions Club of Woolgoolga and a generous NSW State Government grant. As Lions we are proud of the new facilities at the park and we want to share this achievement with our community and friends.
