PARK FOR ANNANDALE.
In 1923, a large number of Annandale residents met at the Council Chambers on Johnston Street. The Mayor (Alderman E. Hogan) presided over the meeting whose objective was to securing certain land in the municipality for dedication as a public park and recreation ground. The resolution to secure the land was moved by Senator J. Grant. In seconding the motion, Mr. W. J. Lincoln said that the "building of the Rozelle railway had robbed them of the only recreation ground they had." The motion was supported by Aldermen Packer and Ridge, Mr. A. Sinclair, M.L.C., and Mr. Carrington. Messrs. W. J. Lincoln and P. S. Tooker were elected president and hon. secretary respectively of the citizens' committee which was formed to arrange a deputation to the Minister for Lands.

"The project team for the Harold Park public park invites you to a drop in session on Saturday 9 November 2013 from 10am to 2pm at Bicentennial Park, Glebe (nearest entry Chapman Rd Annandale). We will have the concept design on display and you can speak with the project team. There will also be a barbeque and children's activities. The consultation phase will run from Saturday 9th to Sunday 24th November 2013." More at http://sydneyyoursay.com.au/johnstons-creek-parklands
Plans also available at
Annandale Neighbourhood Centre
Some Key Points
- Iconic Memorial, currently located at the Leichhardt Bus Depot to be reinstated at the Rozelle Tram Sheds.
- Road through Federal park from Nelson Street round about on the Crescent should not be upgraded. The "future roads" through Harold Park should be used to access the tram sheds.
- Local Provenance species Trees should be ordered now so, that they will be of useful size when required. The grounds should incorporate at least one Syncarpia glomulifera (Turpentine) and one ironbark, as well as angopheras, in the significant tree planting. See examples at Large Local trees
- Swales along cliff and elsewhere should allow for percolation into the soil, to support trees and vegetation in parklands and streetscape on Harold Park site.

Date: Monday 11 November 2013
Venue: Annandale War Memorial, Hinsby Park, Johnston St Annandale.
Commencing: 10:30am
As at the opening of the memorial in 1921, rain necessitated an abbreviated service with the Annandale North Public School Choir and Leichhardt Band, who were to lead the Hymns, pulling out. However, the principal and students from Annandale Public School did brave the weather and laid a wreathe, along with Leichhardt Council Mayor , the RSL and the Vietnam Veterans Association. The bugle was played. See video
Every year, on 11 November at 11 am – the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month – we pause to remember those men and women who have died or suffered in all wars, conflicts and peace operations....www.dva.gov.au
