Position on map:

The two persimmon trees in the Laver Family Park are historically significant for their association with the pioneering Laver family. Since the mid 1870s, the Laver family have been instrumental in the development of the Mudgeeraba area and the wider Gold Coast City through their economic and civic activities. The persimmon trees have a special association with William Henry Laver who planted them around 1923 and his grandson William Maurice Laver who donated the land on which they stand to the Gold Coast people. Both William Henry Laver and William Maurice Laver made a notable contribution to the Gold Coast community though their contribution to the economic development of the area and their service to the community.
