Oaklands Park Florist
Adelaide, South Australia
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
Oaklands Park (postcode 5046) is a suburb of Adelaide in the City of Marion. Since the Marion Shopping Centre is in the suburb, it attracts many people to the suburb daily. On 14 December 1906, Oaklands was bought by Thomas Currie Tait for £15,000. In 1923 Tait offered 'The Park' (from the corner of Marion and Oaklands Roads to the homestead) to the South Australian Government for £100 an acre. When the offer was not accepted, Hamiltons acquired the vineyard and in September 1923, W. Pethick " Sons, cignerons and orchardists, bought the homestead. The remaining land, about 132 acres, was sercured by T.M Burke Pty Ltd, for £23,000, for building allotments. The portion of Oaklands which became the site of the Warradale Army Camp in both World Wars, was acquired from the State on 26 July 1945 for £24,020. The Barracks comprise 56 acres bounded on the north by Oaklands Road and on the west by Morphett Road. In 1940 the area was occupied by 9 Infantry Brigade as a mobilization centre and brigade camp and on 10 February 1942 the site was taken over under National Security Regulations. In 1952 when a number of Oaklands Estate gum-trees were being uprooted to make way for Housing Trust homes a local group formed the Oaklands Estate Resedents' Association in the hope of preserving some of the remaining trees. In a triangle bounded by Oaklands Road, Sturt River and the Marino (now the Norlunga) railway line, they volunteered to plant and care for 1,200 native street trees including a shrubbery around Marion Railway Station. They also helped to initiate the gazetting of a sizable portion of land adjacent to Sturt River for recreational use. The Council has now taken responsibility for that area. In 1971 the South Australian Government set aside 7 ha (16¼ acres) of land in Oaklands Park for its Roas Safety Centre and on 17 October 1972 the Centre was officially opened. Afret the Open Day on 22 October the Centre began operating complete with traffic lights and road signs. Oaklands Park is best known as the location of the Westfield Marion shopping centre. It includes over 300 specialty stores and includes a bowling alley, cinema, several department and discount stores, two super markets and a food court. The Marion Cultural Centre is also adjacent the Marion Shopping Centre that contains a Art Gallery, Café, Library and a Theatre. Events are held there all through the year with Art Exhibits, Theatre Performances and Blue Light Disco’s being held.
