Our History

From strength to strength

Carlton Park Surf Life Saving Club was officially established in 1975 following the merger of Hobart Carlton and Park Beach Surf Life Saving Clubs. Both Hobart Carlton and Park Beach made significant and colourful contributions to surf life saving in Tasmania, and original members of both Clubs can still be found at Carlton Park today.

Research into the Club’s history was completed for Carlton Park’s 40th anniversary in 2015, and an outline of significant events is provided below. Further details will be added here over time.

Information and photographs relating to the Club’s history can be forwarded to Amanda Mackinnon on 0427 076 802 or amandalmackinnon@bigpond.com
