O'Connors Park

Named after Thomas O'Connor, prominent land developer in the Mooloolaba area in the 1920s. His obituary in 1942 called him the founder of Maroochydore-Mooloola and was a key player when the name Mooloolahbah was chosen in January 1921. A surveyor, businessman and speculator, he owned much of the land between the Maroochy and Mooloolah Rivers and was a strong community supporter and philanthropist. When the new Maroochydore Surf Life Saving Club was formed in 1916, Tommy O'Connor was Vice President. At the turn of the century, he was one of the most influential figures in Cotton Tree-Maroochydore and at one time, owned all the freehold land with ocean or river frontage between Buderim-Mooloolaba Road and Eudlo Creek. For a time, he ran a boat service in the Maroochy River, but sold his vessels in 1919. In January 1921, the Mooloolah River Progress Association, decided to name the township rapidly springing up "Mooloolahbah" and O'Connor donated a large piece of land near the blocks recently sold for a sports ground. Thomas O'Connor passed away at the age of 85 years.
