Location

Manners Hill park is located in Peppermint Grove, an affluent suburb of Perth.

It is surrounded by Johnston Street, Bay View Terrace, Keane Street and Lilla Street.[1][2]

History

The land was originally owned by Edward Keane, the Mayor of Perth from 1891 to 1892, who used it as a cow paddock.[2]

In 1903, architect Talbot Hobbs designed a pavilion which was built later that year.[2]

Later, several other amenities were added, such as a dog exercise area, public toilets, and the tennis courts of the Peppermint Grove Tennis Club.[1][3]
