Cheong Park history

Cheong Park was named after the Cheong family that settled in Croydon in 1899. The family purchased slightly over 100 hectares in the area bounded by Mt Dandenong Road, Bayswater Road and Eastfield Road.

In 1923 the Cheong family began selling parcels of their land, commissioning Walter Burley Griffin and his wife Marion Mahony Griffin to plan the subdivision and landscape design, with the layout still in evidence in the area around Cheong Park.

In 1948 the then Lillydale Shire Council (forerunner of Croydon Council) purchased 3 hectares of land with the family donating another 3 hectares to the Council to form the present day 6 hectare site of Cheong Park.
