William Parsons Park
This property was once owned by William Parsons and was part of what was known then as Parsons Hill. Maroochy Shire Council acquired the property from the Southern Electric Company around 1960. William Parsons was an active part of the local community as a landowner, primary producer and actively involved in numerous committees, social and community organisations. In 1963 he donated $2000 to Maroochy Shire Council towards the development of the park. In view of the high esteem in which Mr. Parsons and his family were held, the council had decided to name the recreation area the William Parsons Park, as a suitable recognition of services faithfully rendered to the community. Date named: 28 June 1963
