Centenary Park

Town Square. Charlottee St, Crows Nest 4355.
Themed train playground, picnic and BBQ facilities, fountain, toilets.

Set in the centre of Crows Nest in the town square, Centenary Park is used widely for community events. The major annual event is Crows Nest Day in October when the premier event is the World Champion Worm Race.

A recent theory is that Crows Nest is named after an aboriginal man called Jimmy Crow, who lived in a hollow tree near the present police station. Timber hauling bullock teams would stop in this area overnight and Jimmy Crow used to give them directions. There is a 6 ft statue of Jimmy Crow in Centenary Park, Crows Nest to honour this legend. (For another story about the origin of the name see the story of Bullocky's Rest.)
