A green space with plenty of history
The design of this park was inspired by the / site’s early pastoral beginnings where bountiful / celery crops were grown for over 40 years by / the Schreurs family. The green hued rubber / stripes you see in the play areas represent the / texture of celery crop plantations, while the / ‘ridge and furows’ of ploughed fields come / alive in the undulating forms of the rubber / mounding. The orchard is planted as a reminder of Casey’s proud market garden history.
