Park Lake Adare is a community with a rich history rooted in the natural beauty and agricultural heritage of the land. Originally farmland known for its fertile soil and grazing pastures, Park Lake Adare has evolved with a vision to preserve the essence of this landscape. Today, 100 acres have been dedicated to conservation reserves and parklands, ensuring that the land remains a safe haven for a variety of native wildlife.
Park Lake is not just a stunning place to call home; it’s a thriving ecosystem brimming with native animals. Several beloved Australian species have made Park Lake Adare their home, including kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, native birds, gliders, frogs, and more. And what better way to enjoy all that Park Lake’s wildlife has to offer than with an Animal Scavenger Hunt?
