Haig Park

Part of the eastern section of Haig Park

Haig Park is a park in the suburbs of Braddon and Turner in Canberra, Australia. It lies on either side of Northbourne Avenue.

The park is named to honour Earl Haig, the Commander-in-Chief of the British Expeditionary Forces during the First World War, spans the distance between Mount Ainslie and Black Mountain.[1][2] The park comprises fourteen rows of trees planted to form a windbreak and shelterbelt.[2] The majority of planting was in 1921, when Canberra's first Superintendent, Parks and Gardens, Charles Weston, planted over 7000 trees, predominantly exotic.[3]

According to the ACT Territory and Municipal Services Directorate, the park was designated a public park in 1987 and it has been classified by the National Trust.[3] The park is also listed on the ACT Heritage register.[4][5]

In 2012 the ACT Government prepared a master plan for Haig Park.
