Geese, Victoria Park Lake
Nelson
Land for 'recreation grounds' was purchased by Nelson Local Board from Mr Every-Clayton under recently acquired powers in 1886. Nelson park was created using 8 acres of this land. More land was acquired in 1896 and then, in 1897, a further area was acquired for a 'boating lake'. A 'grotto' subway led beneath Carr Road to connect the lake area to the rest of the park. The lake is now home to nesting birds, ducks, geese, coots and swans, which attract many visitors to the park.
