Statement of Significance

One of the areas of public open space developed as part of the original subdivision of Hilton Park in the 1950s. Hilton Park was developed as a garden suburb, with the requirement that 40% of the land be set aside as public open space.

Physical Description

Treed and grassed park area in residential Hilton.

History

Grigg Park was established when the Hilton Park estate was subdivided in the late 1940s/early 1950s by the State Housing Commission. Hilton Park was planned on garden suburb principles articulated through the Garden Suburb planning movement, which had originated in England at the end of the nineteenth century. Garden suburb principles required that the design of housing estates be laid out with careful consideration given to the proportion of residential, commercial, recreational and public amenity space.
The park encompasses a drainage sump, small garden area and play equipment (including a basketball practice court) that was installed c. 1980. The garden dates from 1992, when 150 local residents gathered in the park to establish a permaculture garden, plant trees and improve the amenities. The day was supported by the City of Fremantle, which provided the food and plants. The park has also been the location of community fun days (children’s activities) organised by the City of Fremantle.
