Kardinia Park is a major public park located in South Geelong, Victoria. A number of public and sporting facilities are located in the park: a major AFL stadium, a secondary football oval, a cricket field, an open air swimming pool, a number of netball courts, various sporting clubrooms, and a Senior Citizens Centre. The park is bounded by Moorabool Street, the Geelong railway line, Kilgour Street, Latrobe Terrace, and Park Crescent. ==History== Kardinia Park was first proclaimed as a public park in May 1872 by the Commissioner of Crown Lands. Then known as Chilwell Flat the new park was 60 acres (24 hectares) in size. Control of the land was vested in the Geelong, Newtown, and Chilwell councils. 1872 saw Kardinia Park adopted as the name. The park originally stretched north to Kilgour Street until the extension of the Geelong railway to Winchelsea in 1876 isolated the north-east corner. This area was sold for housing. * Southern boobook (Australian) * Mandarin duck (China) * Mallard duck (Europe) * Peacock (India) * White swan (Arctic regions) * Guinea fowls (Africa) Mammals: * Monkeys (Africa) * Four kangaroos * Silver kangaroo (the largest of which stands six feet tall) * Six deer (native of Scotland, but several have been bred in the park) * Wallaby (Tasmania) * Great kangaroo (Tasmania) * Lemur (Madagascar) The zoo closed at an unknown date. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kardinia Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
