The idea of a model park, where many varied types of model activities could be conducted, was originally conceived by members of the Model Makers and Collectors Association (MMACA) in the 90's. It wasn't until 2004 that the red tape was cut, approvals given and funding sourced and a start on construction could be made. The progress was slow early on, but with the support of Glenorchy City Council, Glenorchy Lions Club and the clubs affiliated with the MMACA the park started to take shape. Stage 1 consists of an amenities block, club rooms, off-road track and on-road track, complete with driver's stands and 240v power.
 
Officially opened in 2006 and appropriately named The Glenorchy Lions Club Model Park, we have a track as good as the best in the country.

With further development of the on-road track facilities planned, our track will be 2nd to none.
