History
Opened by the Hon. C. C. Maley in 1928, the first shed was built by A. Croft in 1929. He also built the first water tank on site in 1929. In 1932 the Coorow-Waddy Forest Agricultural Association held its first show on this site.. In 1933 the management committee asked the Progress Association to order sufficient trees for planting in Maley park. The Agricultural Showgrounds shed was moved from Maley Park to the Coorow Shire Works Depot. (Source: A. Doley).
Notes: The second tennis courts (4) were close to the present day Maley Park entrance.
The third tennis courts (4) were constructed to the SW corner of Maley Park.
The fourth and currently used tennis courts are adjacent to the Maley Park function room.
