Princes Park

Description

The first public park to be established in the city was founded by Richard Vaughan Yates. The land was purchased for £50,000 in 1842 but despite all his efforts Yates was unable to find a buyer, eventually facing financial ruin he donated it to the city in 1849. In recognition of his contribution, a memorial obelisk was erected in 1858 and this can be seen near the park entrance. Popular with joggers, cyclists and dog walkers, the spacious park also has a children's playground and a well-stocked fishing lake.
