The Lions Clubs of Gosford - East Gosford were initially formed through the sponsorship of the Lions Club of The Entrance at a meeting on September 9, 1957.   For well over half a century the lions have been active throughout the Gosford - East Gosford area supporting many local community projects throughout this period.

One of the initial projects was the establishment of the Lions Park in Masons Parade which was built on new land reclaimed from the Broad Water foreshore.  Huge amounts of rock and rubble topped by fill and soil were needed to produce the park which is basically as it stands today.   Improvements and changes have occurred over the years and the Brick entry was part of renovations during the mid-70s.

These clubs have provided material and support for orphanages, schools, children's entertainment, as well as care for the elderly in the community.

  Various recipients include:-

* Providing a Hansa 303 Boat for the Gosford Sailability Club.
* New Surf Boat for the Copacabana Surf Club.
* Donations to the Flood Victims Appeal for the 1974 floods.
* Providing a Rescue Boat to the local Sailing Club.
* Rebuilding William Plaza in conjunction with Gosford Rotary.
* Funding the Landscaping of the Legacy Retirement Homes, including a Fountain.
* Fully furnishing the newly built Senior Citizens Centre in Gosford, which included a piano
  and a television.
* Providing Rescue equipment to the Ambulance and Volunteer Rescue services.
* Sponsoring a new Fire Tanker for the Matcham Bushfire Brigade.
* Breakfast on the beach on numerous Australia Day celebrations.
* Annual Christmas party for the children of Glenvale Special School at Narara.
* Numerous projects at Gosford Hospital funding specialised equipment, including the
  establishment of a Dialysis Ward.
* Sponsored five new Lions Clubs, one of them being the world's first ever 'Challenge Club'
  for retired people.

These are just some of the projects supported by the Gosford City - East Gosford Lions.   Community service projects designed to assist the incapacitated, people in difficulties, and children with special needs have been funded as well.   Another major project was the building of the "Lions Community Hall" in East Gosford.
