Important as a focus for leisure, relaxation and tourism, and as a symbol of civic pride.
A grassed and treed public place in the centre of the town, bounded by Bayley, Sylvester and Wilson Streets. Still used and well maintained. A critical place in the rigorous climate of the goldfields. The park is a perennial green oasis.
A park laid down in the 1897 townsite plan as parklands, to be used as a place of public pleasure and has been maintained for that purpose to the present day. Also the site of the first inland swimming pool in the southern hemisphere.
