Windback Wednesday - Hazelwood Park

Did you know that Hazelwood Park was known as a "National Pleasure Resort" in the early 20th century? The land was originally owned by the Clark family as part of the Hazelwood Estate, but in 1914 they sold the land to the State Government under the condition that it remained a park.

In 1915 it was declared a National Pleasure Resort under the National Pleasure Resorts Act 1914, and in 1964 the park was handed over to the City of Burnside. To this day Hazelwood Park remains a central attraction within the City of Burnside and will host the annual Carols in the Park this Friday 9 December.
