Yerrabi Pond (Gungahlin)

 

Yerrabi Pond is a lake which located in Gungahlin. Although, the lake is not as big as Lake Burley Griffin, it has beautiful view with a lot of black swans and wild ducks. In the afternoon, many birds and ducks swim in the lake and enjoy a nap, and many people lie down on the grass which surrounds the lake and have a rest with those animals. There is a small park around the lake which named Yerrabi Pond District Park. It includes a Giant Tarzan swing, Double/Tandem Flying Fox, Burmese Bridge and children's play equipment. Children can have fun in this park, families can enjoy their barbecue in the park, and people can also do sports in it as there are some sports facilities. During weekends many people bring their fishing tools and have a nice fishing day. On 16 October 1999, the Park was opened by the Chief Minister, Kate Carnell. It is regarded as one of Canberra's newest urban parks and contains the latest innovative design in children's play facilities as well as adventure playground.






Yerrabi Pond District Park could be the main recreational facility for the residents who live in Gungahlin. And it is true that it has created a better place for residents to have fun. Therefore, this beautiful view should be protected by us all.
