The Coonawarra Park

The Coonawarra centenary sculpture in the town’s park commemorates the beginning of the fruit colony. One section of the park is known as the sculpture park because in 1991 a sculpture made from red gum and limestone called the Terra Rossa tree wall, and was unveiled along with three bronze busts. The first bust is of John Riddoch the founder of Coonawarra. The second bust is of David Wynn the revitaliser of Coonawarra and the third is of Bill Redman the sustainer of Coonawarra. On the wall of the public toilets a map of the wineries has been placed along with the history of Coonawarra and a map of the original fruit blocks. Coonawarra Park has picnic and barbecue facilities, as well as playground equipment.
