The Gingin Brook immediately below the town bridge was partly closed and developed as a scenic pool with a weir to control the water level. Land around was grassed and barbeques and children's swings etc were installed This facility was officially opened on 17th April 1976. Water Wheel - the metal machinery and axle from the old wooden water wheel on Cheriton was brought to Granville Park and Mr. Frank Butler constructed a replica water wheel. The Shire constructed a water race and this remarkable wheel was installed. It turns constantly, demonstrating the enormous strength of this ancient form of power. The pump, which is driven by the water wheel, was designed and installed by Neil Butcher in 1984. It operates the fountain on the lily pond. Cheriton Arch - by 1978, all that remained of the home of W.L. Brockman of Cheriton was a stone arch, originally protecting the front door of the house. It was deteriorating quickly so the remaining limestone blocks were removed to the Park. On a site just to the north of the Granville Arts Centre, Mr. Paul Butler rebuilt the arch using as much of the original blocks as possible plus that which he shaped himself from local limestone. Pioneer Pavilion - the Pioneer Pavilion combines facilities for travellers with the commemoration of eariy settlers. It was opened on the 23rd April 2001.
