<header name="Bicentennial Park bouldering" id="1" walk="5-10min" sun="Sun and shade" rock="Dolerite" acknowledgement="Bicentennial Park boulders were found by Mackenzie Reekie in 2025." intro="Bicentennial Park is the start of both the Signal station track and the Lambert Rivulet track. Along these tracks there are a scattering of dolerite boulders that offer some joy to local bouldering enthusiasts.<br/><br/>Some of the problems offer some quality movements with decent rock and are certainly worth a visit if you're wanting to try something close to Hobart.<br/>There is potential for more problems to come here, as there is scattering of dolerite throughout the gully. Note that some of the rock can be quite chossy. There is plenty of flora debris and several boulders are within dense forest and would remain damp through the wetter, colder months.<br/><br/>The problems added thus far are some of the better, cleaner lines found, with more problems to hopefully come. Treat the area with care, don't leave rubbish and if trying to make landings safer, please use dead debris rather than removing living material from its home.<br/>This is a shared reserve so be friendly to others.<br/><br/>Problems are written up left to right as you approach the boulders. " history="" access="The start of the tracks and fastest way to access the initial problems is to park on Churchill Avenue. Bicentennial Park is 300m past the Nelson Rd roundabout.<br/><br/>An alternative to access higher in the gully is to park on Enterprise Rd (see the GPS coords). The initial problems are down hill from here." camping="" autonumber="true"/>
