About these numbers These percentages indicate the number of Find a Grave memorials that have a grave photo or GPS coordinates. We don't know the total number of burials in a cemetery, so we cannot calculate a percentage of those with memorials, photos or GPS coordinates.

The reserve was handed over to Council by Dr Alfred Henry Bennett as a gift in 1926, and the cremated remains of both Dr Bennett and his wife Florence Birkinshaw are situated beneath the memorial and a memorial plaque is located on the brick wall. Originally a memorial fountain was erected in their memory.

Dr Bennett, an ear, eye and throat specialist trained in Aberdeen, London & Vienna and practiced at Kapunda and Crystal Brook before moving to Adelaide.

In 1905 he purchased land for the purpose of horse stabling and agistment. His wife died in 1907 and in 1926 he set aside three acres of land to be developed as a playground recreational park and also to provide homes for indigent professional persons who were former employees and their female dependants. In 1926 he held a dispersal sale of his horse and used the 3000 pounds as part of the endowment fund for the reserve.
