Physical Description

Bruce Lee Reserve is a large rectangular grassed park area with several trees to the perimeter. Located in front of South Fremantle TAFE.

History

Vested in City of Fremantle 1962. Used as a park in the interwar years, probably constructed on a quarry site. Bruce Lee Oval is evidence of public need expressed in the interwar and the post-war years for new sporting venues. (M. Bosworth, Landscape Study, p.41) The Park was a former portion of 'Mulberry Farm' - itself an historic part of Fremantle. The creation of the Park is part of the 'newer' development of South Fremantle. Bruce Lee was a Fremantle councillor from 1940 to 1967. The place was included in the "Heritage Study South Fremantle", prepared by John Taylor Architects, for the City of Fremantle, June 1993.
