摘要

Centennial Park was opened in 1888 to mark a century of European colonization in Australia. From its conception, the park was popularly acclaimed as both a symbolic and a functional site. It became a venue for cricket, horse riding and golf, while park plantings came to afford sylvan pleasures for the 'tired-toiler'. Having marked the Centenary, its symbolic status was further enhanced on 1 January 1901. Then, 250 000 people gathered on the slopes of a natural amphitheatre to 'witness' the Federation of the former colonies with the swearing in of the first Governor General and the signing of an Australian Constitution. Despite this auspicious beginning, Centennial Park's perceived worth fluctuated through much of the twentieth century. Neglect during the post-war years was followed by the threat of alienation in the 1970s. However, it is once again acknowledged as an important public urban space, positioned less than 5 kilometres from the city centre. Each year millions of people visit the site to run, ride, walk or cycle around its 220 hectares of playing fields, ponds, gardens, groves and paths.
