Statement of Significance
The site has associations with technology and services in Ballidu, and commemorates the pioneers.
History
The site was first occupied by Sid Craske's garage. Later Duncan Hordacre ran the garage. When Wally Townsend bought the house next door and this property, he demolished the garage to eliminate the noise. The community park now has a permanent display of early agricultural machinery, which established after Wally Townsend donated the land and material, in 1973, to commemorate the pioneer families of Ballidu.
