Rock Pool at Richard Prouse Park: A Hidden Gem with a Rocky Past
The Rock Pool is located in Richard Prouse Park near the Hine Road driveway entrance. It is named after The Rock, a prominent hill above the pool that was once used as a quarry.
An old road once connected Moores Valley Road to a ford crossing the river just upstream from the pool. While the road and ford are no longer in use, remnants can still be seen, and the pool itself continues to be enjoyed by swimmers today.
