History
Anzac Park was named on 26 April 1916, C Lawless proposed to Council that 'Scores Point Recreation Ground' be named ‘Anzac Park’ and the name was adopted. The name commemorates the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps which served in World War I in Europe and the Middle East. In 1949 the Anzac Park Sports Club and Improvements Society was founded and by 1951 they had raised funds to erect play equipment on the site.
