Cleland Park

Cleland Park - Bench

Area: 5,073m²

Named after Alderman William Cleland junior, Mayor of Willoughby (1906-07) and first president of the School of Arts. He lived in Abbott Road where the Artarmon Public School now stands. The land was intended to be the site of the Council Chambers, as it was elevated and central to the newly created Municipality of North Willoughby in 1865, however when Chatswood Town Hall was opened in 1903 the land became redundant. At the urging of Cleland, it was declared a public park in 1908. Tennis courts have been operating in the park since 1920. A carpark for approximately twenty cars and a Guides Hall (Artarmon District Guides) are also located in the park.

The play area includes a triple swing, 2 spinners and a rocker.
