Dedicated to a World War I hero, Beattie Park in North Perth has a fascinating past. Before it became the sporting and recreational hub we see today, Beattie Park held a much less glamorous role. From 1890 to 1910, this very spot served as a sanitary dump for the City of Perth. Imagine the horse-drawn carts rumbling through, depositing “night soil” and rubbish where children now play. Gazetted in 1910, the park was named for Vice Admiral Sir David Beatty, a distinguished figure from the Great War. Today, Beattie Park is a popular venue for team sports. Two floodlights illuminate the grounds, allowing for evening games and practices. Families enjoy the playground and shady, tree-lined paths. While the park itself doesn’t have restrooms, the neighboring Beatty Park Leisure Centre provides facilities during its opening hours. If you’re planning a team practice or event, Beattie Park is available for hire through the online booking system, Spacetoco. Check the availability calendar before you go to ensure the park isn’t already booked. So next time you’re enjoying a game or a picnic in Beattie Park, remember its unusual history. From a former dump to a vibrant community space, Beattie Park’s transformation is a testament to the power of time and community spirit.
