Greythorn Park
Greythorn Park is a park in the suburb of Balwyn North, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is located in the eastern part of the suburb known as Greythorn, from which the park gets its name.
== History ==
The land where Greythorn Park currently is situated was owned by the Maughan family from 1838, when the area was thinly settled and largely bushland. When electric trams first began reaching the area, most notably the tram to Burke Road Kew in 1938 (present day route 48), it encouraged further subdivision of the area. By this time, the area was known as 'Whitethorn', which was later changed to 'Greythorn' to avoid confusion with Whitehorse Road.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://home.vicnet.net.au/~balwynhs/newsletters/letters/news_mar.pdf )〕
In 1938, with the tram now extended to Balwyn Road, the North Balwyn Wildlife Sanctuary was opened on the present-day side of the park. Operated by the Maughan family, the facility contained Australian native animals, and played host to many American serviceman who were stationed in Melbourne during the Second World War in the 1940s. The sanctuary closed in 1954, but not before most of the land was bequeathed to the City of Camberwell for a recreational park in 1951. The remainder of the land was subdivided into 62 blocks, and the legacy of the sanctuary survives through street names such as 'Wildlife Parade'.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/opinion/do-you-think-you-can-can-can-on-bastille-day/story-fn4qercp-1225891458085 )〕
The tennis courts at the Greythorn Tennis Club opened in 1968 and the scout hall was constructed in 1976.
