Footscray Park

We have a lovely park but it's a little too far for me to just pop over for a stroll of an afternoon (I don't have a car.) It's called the People's Park because in 1909, when developers wanted to sell the land for houses, the local residents got together and convinced the town to buy it and with volunteer labor and donated plants it became a beautiful spot for everyone. It's on a hill overlooking the Maribrynong River and the sports fields. Here are some pictures of the park.
