History of Avondale Park

Avondale Park was created in 1892 when the area, that had been a huge fetid pool known as 'the Ocean', was finally built on. This former area of slurry was part of the notorious Piggeries. It was also the location of tile kilns and brickfields.

The site was bought from the Adams family in 1889. After the seven foot excavations were filled in, there was an opening ceremony on 2 June 1892. The name, Avondale Park, is in memory of the recently deceased Duke of Clarence and Avondale.
