Statement of Significance

This single storeyed timber framed and corrugated
galvanised iron roofed Pavilion, in the Federation Queen
Anne style, has cultural significance because:
the Park and its Pavilion have been established for a
century and, for most of the history of Peppermint
Grove, have been a social and recreational focus for
the suburb;
the Park and Pavilion have considerable historical and
social significance;
the Pavilion is a comparatively rare example of a
public pavilion of this period;
the park has associations with Keane and Sir J J
Talbot Hobbs.

Physical Description

The pavilion was designed in the prevailing style of the
Gold Boom period residences in Peppermint Grove. The
Pavilion has been well maintained and has been little
adapted and has retained its original character. The Park
extends the open space of the foreshore and Keane's Point
and provides a public focus for the recreational activities of
the suburb.

History

Manners Hill Park Pavilion was built on land that was
originally Edward Keane's cow paddock. In 1899 the land
was purchased by the Crown and created into a public park.
The Pavilion was erected in 1903, by which time a 6-hole
golf course had been established in the park. The reserve
and pavilion were created as places of public enjoyment, and
continue in that role. The pavilion itself is one of few
remaining public pavilions located in an open reserve.
Considerable historical significance.

Integrity/Authenticity

The Pavilion is an accomplished design which skillfully
relates style, scale and detail.
