Statement of Significance

Physical Description
The 2019 Building is not of any historic significance. The overall greens and setting represent the significance of the place.
History
Croquet emerged as a public sport in the late nineteenth century. The first Club in Western Australia was Fremantle in 1900, with York soon after in 1909, and still active.
The original building was opened in time for the York Croquet Club’s Golden Anniversary in 1959. It was built by the Shire of York, and paid for on a 4-year loan. The York Council had acquired the land from the Diocesan Trustees of the Church of England in 1945 for £10, with a deed of covenant that included the requirement to develop the land as a public park with trees, flowers and lawns within 12 months.
In 2018 the 1959 building was demolished to make way for the existing building that was designed by Peter Bailey, who, with Eric Ayling as project manager, guided the many volunteers who made it possible.
