Statement of Significance
The reserve makes a substantial contribution to the rural setting of the town and a scenic overlook for many houses along Helena Street.
Physical Description
Large pastured land on the floodplains of the Helena River. The original 1829 Guildford Town Plan prepared by H.C. Sutherland allocated private river frontage allotments at the western end of Helena Street and vested the remaining river land in the Crown. The land was named Kings Meadow. The municipal endowment land is presently leased to a polo club for recreational purposes.
History
The Kings Meadow Reserve has remained vested in the Crown since 1829 when it was declared public land.
