3.0 MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES1.6 Crazy Paved Sandstone Zone – (front of south western archway)Likely to have been laid out at the time of construction of the sandstone archway,this area was probably formed in this crazy paved configuration to draw people’sattention to the park entry. It is typical of paving of the inter-war period.• Retain and repair as required.1.7 Enmore Road Bus ShelterBuilt as part of the upgrading works in the mid to late 1930’s.• Retain as existing and repair as required with the advice of a conservationarchitect.• Consider removal of green timber benches along eastern platform behindbuilding and the re-establishment of slatted benches under the roof as inoriginal structure.1.8 Former Sandstone FountainSmall sandstone fountain set on an octagonal plinth dating from pre-1958.• Retain and repair as required.1.9 Sandstone Edged Planter BedsA circular formation of arc shaped planter beds first seen in a photo of the parktaken following the upgrading works of the late 1930’s. The original sandstoneedges have been supplemented by concrete mowing strips, which tend todiminish an appreciation of the original fabric.• Retain planter beds and replant with species used commonly during 1930-40’s.• Remove those shrubs and tree plantings, which restrict an appreciation ofthe overall configuration of the formation.1.10 Salvation Army MonumentSalvation Army shield surrounded by on oval brick dwarf wall lying on an artificialmound.• Presumably has some social significance, however further research wouldbe required to understand the origin and significance of this item.• Subject to such research consider removal of mound and re-landscapingof setting to remove access / visual barrier of mound.1.11 Northern Stone Edged Garden BedsCircular beds appear to have been in this location for many decades, althoughplantings have frequently changed.• Worth retaining for its long standing presence and it provides focal interestin an otherwise plain space.1.12 Children’s RocketTypical of elements built following the space race and moon landing, possiblydates from the late 1960’s or early 1970’s.• Worth retaining as a good example of its type and an element that isbecoming increasingly rare.• Warrants being integrated into a children’s play or nearer to barbequefacilities with required safety controls.1.13 Concrete Rondel - EdgingThe original stone edging around the central rondel is just visible behind the laterconcrete ‘kerbing’.• Edging should be retained for historical interpretation purposes.19 Marrickville CouncilOctober 2012
