Creswick - Calembeen Park
Calembeen Park's lakes are home to birdlife and waterlily displays. Chinese miners first mined here for shallow alluvial gold between the 1850s and 1860s and it became a Chinese settlement. The first recorded use for swimming was around 1910 and Calambeen Park's lakes are now popular for swimming, fishing, walking and cycling.
The restoration of the historic dive tower in recent years has seen many visitors return to the reserve.
There is a swimming pool within the largest pond, a wading pool, toddlers pool and diving tower. The depth of the main swimming area ranges from 1-30m and there is a sudden steep drop-off. However on the side there is a shallow area suitable for children.
There is also a picnic area, BBQ, amenities block and nature walks.
The reserve is also home to the public art piece 'My Dearest', which can be found along the walking trail around the lake.
