Gorman Park is part of the Lagoon to River trail, and near the Edward River Library, off Whitelock Street.
Look out for native fish, including the endangered Southern Pygmy Perch, in the lagoons as well as a colourful array of birdlife including ducks, speckled geese, shags and pied cormorants.
You'll probably also see some water rats which love eating yabbies and small fish, and turtles which use the refuge for sunning and resting.
