St Laurence Park Retirement Living

No matter your age, we know that an active and independent lifestyle is key. After all, age is just a number!

With this in mind, we began St Laurence Park in Lara, genU’s retirement village.

How is St Laurence Park different? Well, we’ve incorporated inclusive community facilities and social programs (including a happy hour!) so that you can continue to enjoy life with others.

  • Happy hours
  • Movie nights
  • Relaxing barbecues in the shaded outdoor area
  • Hydrotherapy & day programs
  • Hairdresser
  • Bingo
  • Book club
  • Art & craft room

  • Putting green

An active residents group offers activities ranging from bus trips and trivia afternoons to tai chi lessons and indoor bowls and much more.

A fully stocked library and craft shop are also key features of the park which provide opportunities for people to gather together. The community orchard and veggie patches have also become meeting places, as well as providing a source of fresh food for residents.

And (we’ve saved the best for last) pets are welcome! Bring along your 4-legged friend, and they can enjoy an off-leash paddock for dogs and an all-weather shelter shed for their owners.
