City Park, Launceston, Tasmania.
It's always lovely to stroll in our City Park and that's what I did the other day whilst my husband stayed in the car.
The Rotunda in the park was built in 1908 and is dedicated to Chester Edwards, the Launceston City Band conductor. It was built with funds raised in part through local donations. The rotunda has a band play there mostly in the summer time on a Sunday. (Not a pop band).
Lovely, lovely park!!
ReplyDeleteThank you and it is a beauty.
DeleteCool photos
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming glimpse into Launceston's history! The Rotunda sounds delightful—rich in heritage and community spirit. I’d love to hear the band play there on a warm Sunday afternoon.
I've never been in summer to listen to the band play, but I'm told it's a good experience.
DeleteIt looks like a very beautiful park. The trees looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely park to take a stroll on any type of day and any season Marit.
DeleteA brass band with the Oompah-pah french horn? The park is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's it R, I couldn't think of the name when doing the post.
DeleteHi Margaret, what a gorgeous park. I love the gazebo as well. The setting is very soothing with the lush green 💚 trees and the red leaves add a dramatic glow ✨️ I also love the blue 💙 sky with the fluffy clouds.
ReplyDeleteIt's also lovely in summer Linda. When that season comes, I must go there and take more photos of the things that were being renovated.
DeleteLovely photos!!
ReplyDeleteAnd I like your quote:
Music has no barriers, for it knows all languages'
Thank you, Sandi.
DeleteYes, it's a good quote that one and I'm not sure where that came from, I've read similar but not mine.
Oh my goodness, that is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree with you Mary, and even in summer it's pretty and green.
DeleteSuch lovely place! It's so clean. I like that tree with red leaves.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful tree. Planted there of course as Tasmania only has one tree that loses it's leaves in the winter and it's in the high country on one of the mountains. The park is clean as most of our parks are.
DeleteSuch a beautiful park!
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie, and it is in my view too.
DeleteIt does look lovely. I would have loved to walk with you.
ReplyDeleteThat would be lovely taking our time, talking or just soaking in the silence and smell of the clean air, EC
DeleteThis is a very scenic park
ReplyDeleteIt sure is and planned well too.
DeleteDo people watching the band play stand up? Sit on the grass? Or bring their own chairs? On a sunny day, the experience would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteApparently Hels, people stand, and some take their own chairs and sit, some lay on the grass and enjoy. Long, long time ago I sang in the park, solo at Christmas time..
DeleteThe City Park is wonderful, and surprise, right in the city. I remember the beautiful rotunda.
ReplyDeleteIt sure is Andrew, we are so lucky to have it in the city, and it's looked after so well too.
DeleteWell kept. Seems that vandalism is not Tasmanian - we need it here on the mainland.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of that WW2 movie and Judy Dench with her theatre,
Mrs. Henderson Presents and the scene in that mark with the big time - politician
and the girls having to be naked !!!
So funny when he spluttered !!!
Cheers
Colin
There are many gates around the park Colin and they are locked at night. We do have our share of vandals, believe me, most places do.
Deletelol to the movie.
Es un hermoso lugar. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteThank you J.P.
DeleteThese are wonderful photos, rotundas aren't seen in a lot of parks
ReplyDeleteThank you Jo-Anne. You are right, not every park has one then again the places you think wouldn't have them, do!
DeleteMuy bellas y coloridas imagenes, amiga.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ildefonso. It's what nature offered that day.
DeleteBeautiful photos of your walk in the park.
ReplyDeleteAlso very beautiful the autumn colours, here it is summer and today the weather is oppressively warm.
I wish you a nice weekend.
Greetings Irma
Thank you Irma.
DeleteAutumn colours are beautiful and we only get them if the trees are not native to us. It's a way to show us how wonderful nature can be.
Keep cool up there and we will keep warm in our colder winter days.
A lovely spot for a ramble. Your husband missed out by staying in the car.
ReplyDeleteIt is a good spot. He stayed in the car because he can't walk very far without stopping and having several rests :)
DeleteGreat park for a walk
ReplyDeleteand improving your mood!!
Definitely relaxing and grounding you.
Lovely to walk around but I only did a small area as other parts of the park is having renovations.
DeleteVery beautiful Palace!
ReplyDeleteThank you Anne, it is nice there and a pleasure to be able to walk in it.
DeleteYo creo que sería una gran experiencia asistir a un concierto con la banda de música. He asistido a lagun concierto al aire libre y me he alegrado de hacerlo.
ReplyDeleteFeliz fin de semana.
Lovely to do it and see in reality especially on a lovely day.
DeleteIt looks a lovely park, and some nice Autumn colours too.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
It sure is a nice park, Jan. Always some autumn colours in autumn in the park.
DeleteThis is such a pretty park Margaret, and I see you are going into a your Autumn. It is my favorite time of the year. Super photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks Denise. We are in winter now or near enough, we say winter begins June1.
DeleteAvete veramente un bellissimo parco in cui si possono trascorrere delle ottime ore al fresco e in compagnia anche della musica
ReplyDeleteThat is true Stefania.
DeleteDear Margaret thank you so much for sharing your stroll of this gorgeous park with us 🥰🤗🙏
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed each glimpse thoroughly 👍♥️🥰

Thank you Baili. Best wishes to you and your family too.
DeleteSuch a charming place for a peaceful stroll.
ReplyDeleteA perfect spot to soak in some live music and enjoy the surroundings.
I love the gazebo.
Thanks Veronica. It's a well kept park for all to enjoy.

ReplyDeleteAbraço de amizade.

It is a natural beauty indeed, Juvenal.
DeleteSome of the Rotunda built during the British era in India are still around here.
ReplyDeleteOh are they. I guess there are many things till left from that era.
DeleteBeautiful park, it's probably nice to spend a few moments there or take a walk, and the place for small concerts is just perfect. When I see colorful trees at your place, autumn... :))
ReplyDeleteAutumn - it's beautiful but if I had to choose, I prefer summer time and long days, like it is at my place now.
Most people visit Tasmania in summer for many reasons; however a few do visit in winter. Lovely walking through the park there.
DeleteLooks like a lovely park.
ReplyDeleteThanks, and it is.
DeleteWonderful park. A fantastic place to stroll.
ReplyDeleteI recently visited City Park and the Rotunda, and this blog captures its charm beautifully. The blend of open green spaces with the elegant architecture of the Rotunda makes it a perfect escape from the city's hustle. Whether you're out for a morning jog, a relaxed picnic, or just want to soak in some local history, this place has it all. Thanks for highlighting such a peaceful gem in the city!
ReplyDeleteJa ein schöner Park für einen Spaziergang ist er gut.
ReplyDeleteGruß
Noke
Se ve precioso Margaret, me ha gustado mucho. Abrazos.
