Trevallyn Reserve in Bain Terrace (North Bank/South Bank) Trevallyn, was developed during the late 19th Century and was originally known as "Anzac Park". The original band rotunda, which was erected in 1922 and pulled down some years later, was originally built to display the marble plaque containing the names of the Trevallyn residents who lost their lives during the Great War. The plaque itself,
which still sits within the rotunda's base today, was the first of its kind in Launceston following World War 1. After many conversations between residents and enthusiastic expressions of interest, the Trevallyn community have developed a group, open to all, which is working towards bringing the park back to its former glory while creating a family friendly, community space to be used for a wide range of activites. This could include the replanting of trees, development of sustainable gardens, water irrigation systems, a much needed playground upgrade and the potential building of one or more barbecues. There has already been some excitement around the idea of rebuilding the band rotunda to be used for a range of activities, with 2015 the centenary of the Great War. This re-development by the people of Trevallyn involves assistance from The Launceston City Council - Parks and Recreation and may be funded by a range of community grants as well as private sponsorship and/or donations. The purpose of this page is to generate community involvement by making the project as transparent as possible, ensuring that there is an opportunity for the maximum community input possible by those who are interested and wish to use the park and its facilities. The first group meeting was held on December the 5th 2014 at St Oswalds Hall in Bain Terrace and was attended by 11 local residents, 4 representatives from the Launceston City Council Parks & Recreation.
