Dixon Park SLSC has a proud heritage and was founded in 1932 as part of the Northern District Branch (now Hunter Branch) of Surf Life Saving NSW. For the first two seasons the Club had no premises, instead a hole of 2. 5m across was dug at the base of ‘The Cliff’ which served as a meeting point and a temporary place to keep gear.
Dixon Park was one of the first clubs in NSW to apply and receive a liquor licence however, in 1988 the licenced club was declared bankrupt, and the liquidators demanded that the Club sell everything including rescue equipment such as IRB’s and surf boats.
Today, the Club is now financially strong and participates fully and actively in the Surf Life Saving movement.
