Aesthetic significance for its Contribution to the park like setting of central Armadale and the mature trees that provide links to Armadale’s pioneering heritage.
Historic associations with Martin Jull’s historic property “Brookside”
Very high social significance for associations with the relocated buildings in the Minnawarra Heritage Precinct. Neerigen Brook is identified as a site of significance to the Aboriginal community.
The area, bounded by Armadale Road to the north, Jull Street to the south, Orchard Avenue to the west and Church Avenue to the east comprises a cultural landscape including significant established trees, a grassed area and the Neerigen Brook (and lake) which is spanned by a timber bridge.
The park is set on land that was formerly part of Martin Jull’s, and his wife Dr Roberta Jull’s, property known as “Brookside”. It is believed the Sugar Gums were planted by the Julls between about 1895 and 1910. The land was later purchased by ‘Warden’ Owen in around 1912 and renamed “Minnawarra”. The land was purchased by Council in 1958, following a deal of controversy over a number of years, after being purchased by Fred and Percy James in 1954 and being held in trust with an option for the Road Board to purchase. The “new” Council offices were erected on part of the land in 1985, History House Museum was
constructed in 1976 and the Primary School and Congregational Church were relocated to the precinct in 1988. The lake and parklands were constructed in 1985
