Lake Weeroona is a man-made lake in the city of Bendigo, Victoria.[1]
Lake Weeroona was commissioned in 1878 under the supervision of William Guilfoyle, the art director of the Melbourne Botanic Gardens.[1] Originally a mine, the then Mayor of Bendigo Mayor Duggall McDougall envisioned the creation of a lake and reserve in its place.[1]
Lake Weeroona is north of the Bendigo central business district on the corner of Nolan Street and Napier Street.[2] It is set on 18 hectares.[2]
Lake Weeroona is home to the Bendigo Rowing Club and The Boardwalk Restaurant. A large enclosed playground, toilets and barbecues are available for public use.
