The water tower is located in the Scott’s Park precinct, on the corner of Russell and Whitelock Streets. The precinct includes a large nature-based playground, BMX pump track, swimming pool, splash park, indoor heated pool, lagoon walking trail and community garden.
The water tower is directly opposite the White Lion Hotel, fondly known as “The Zoo” to locals. The pub offers hearty meals and cold drinks, and in the warmer months you can dine outdoors in the beer garden - it also happens to have a first class view of the Water Tower.
