Whitten Oval
Whitten Oval (currently known as ''Victoria University Whitten Oval''〔(Bulldogs to play at Victoria University Whitten Oval ) ''www.westernbulldogs.com.au (16 Aug 2013)''〕) is a stadium in the inner-western suburbs of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia located at 417 Barkly Street, Footscray. It is the training and administrative headquarters of the Western Bulldogs Football Club, which competes in the Australian Football League, and the home ground of its reserves team, which competes in the Victorian Football League.
Formerly known as the Western Oval, it was renamed in honour of Ted Whitten, a former player, captain and coach for the Club. A statue of Whitten was also erected at the entrance of the Oval.
==Background==
The Whitten Oval is the centrepiece of a reserve that, from 1860, was a stone quarry used by the railways. In 1866, the quarry was turned into a reserve that included botanical gardens. Other former quarries within the City of Footscray that were turned into public gardens in this era include the Yarraville Reserve, which is the site of the current Yarraville Oval, off Williamstown Road; the Yarraville Gardens, off Hyde Street; and Footscray Park, which fronts the Maribyrnong River.〔Ruban, L.
