Enmore Park Plan of Management - Land

Conservation Management StrategyEnmore Park6. Path from centre of VictoriaRoad frontage to Enmore RoadOnly the south-eastern half of thepath (nearest to Victoria Rd)appears on the 1930 aerial.The path is the same width as theother paths through the park (withthe exception of the east-westpath from Enmore Rd).This path would have originallyprovided access to Enmore Roadand Addison Rd from the vicinityof the former Frankfort House ofSamuel Cook.Likely re-asphalting in 1994.Rating: Low to ModeratePath should be retained as itprovides an important link fromEnmore Road to LeicesterStreet and Victoria Road.Concrete kerb edging andbitumen surface are appropriateto the period of pathformalisation in the 1930s and1940s and should bemaintained as existing.7. Path from centre to corner ofVictoria Rd and Leicester St.This pathway was constructed aspart of the late 1930simprovement works. It was predatedby two tracks (seen on the1930 aerial) which led in the samedirection, but on differentalignments.The path is roughly the samewidth as the other paths throughthe park (with the exception of theeast-west path from Enmore Rd).Avenue plantings along it arerecent and presumably wereintended to relate to thoseplantings along paths in thewestern half of the park.Likely re-asphalting in 1994.8. Path from centre to south-eastThe path appears in a 1922photograph of the centre of thepark and appears to have beenone of the key paths formalisedand resurfaced between 1930 and1942.The path seems to have retainedits original alignment andproportions and seems to supporta significant volume of pedestriantraffic crossing the park towardand from Addison Road.Aerial photographic evidencesuggests that avenue plantingswere never attempted along thispath (as with most others in theeastern half of the park).Likely re-asphalting in 1994.Rating: Low to ModeratePath should be retained as itprovides a link from the centreto Leicester Street and VictoriaRoad, and it services thechildren’s playground andsensory garden.Concrete kerb edging andbitumen surface are appropriateto the period of pathformalisation in the 1930s and1940s and should bemaintained as existing.Rating: Moderate to HighPath should be retained as itprovides an important and wellusedpedestrian access.Concrete kerb edging andbitumen surface are appropriateto the period of pathformalisation in the 1930s and1940s and should bemaintained as existingMayne-Wilson & Associates22Conservation Landscape Architects
