 The first park, (named the Mallala People's Park) was purchased by public subscription for recreation purposes in 1908.

It was situated south of where the railway line now crosses Dublin Rd. (Sect. 276) and the land was resumed by the government when the railway was built in 1915.

The southern and western boundaries were planted with sugar gums [Eucalyptus Cladocalyx] and some are still surviving at the rear of blocks on Cameron Tce. with the specimen on 18 Cameron Tce. being the tallest tree in Mallala.
