Who’s a good girl Then Jessie Stuart Broomfield is a good girl. This unassuming plaque commemorates a remarkable woman. It tells the tale of Jessie Stuart Broomfield a Sydney resident who loved dogs dearly. More than dearly in fact.

Upon her death in 1935 Jessie left a substantial portion of her estate to various dog homes and institutions in Sydney. But her generosity didn’t stop there. She stipulated that drinking fountains for dogs should be erected bearing her name.

The Jessie Stuart Broomfield Water Fountain in Ford Park is one such testament to her love. It wasn’t intended for humans only for our canine companions. The fountain’s construction wasn’t immediate. Her estate’s trustees contacted Enfield Council in 1941 suggesting either Ford Park or Jackson Park. The fountain was finally erected in Ford Park in 1948.

Think about it. A woman’s legacy lives on through water fountains for thirsty dogs. This small plaque in Ford Park isn’t just a marker. It’s a whimsical reminder of Jessie’s unique generosity. A testament to her affection for animals and her lasting impact on Sydney’s canine population.
