Condition
Good The site was the location of the Carilla Hall built in 1924 and dismantled in 1985. Signage at the front of the site notes that the park was established in 1992 however the reserve had always been designated for community purposes as a hall. In 1994, local community members formed the Pickering Brook Heritage Group with the purpose of acting as a focus for the long term preservation of the history of the district. The group met in the primary school but were keen to find an appropriate transportable timber building to be erected on this site. With the support of the Shire of Kalamunda, the Ministry of Justice and the Department of Conservation and Land Management the Barton's Mill Prison Chapel which had originally been the solitary confinement block was relocated to the site in 2008. The building now houses a museum.
