A welcome announcement this week on the listing of Manly Oval and Ivanhoe Park Botanic Garden on the NSW State Heritage Register. Credit to the many locals, including the Friends of Ivanhoe Park, who fought so hard to make this a reality. Both the oval and the park have a long and proud history, very much a part of the fabric of early Manly. In fact Ivanhoe Park was first purchased by Manly Council in 1883 and part of the park was separated off in the early 1900s to accommodate the Spit to Manly tram route! Today the park and the oval are much-loved places for sports, community groups and locals - a kind of ‘village green’ in the heart of Manly. The State Heritage Register listing places a welcome extra level of protection so generations to come can continue to enjoy this special part of the Northern Beaches. It’s a big weekend for sports and exercise. Best of luck to the many players who have made it to grand finals across our numerous sporting codes. Our many sportsfields are hosting literally hundreds of games this weekend and our parks teams have been working hard to ensure they are ready for action. It won’t be long before we are taking down the goal posts and getting fields prepared for the summer sports season. Special shout out to the Warringah Rats, taking on Sydney Uni in their third straight grand final today. And I’m sure I’ll see many of you at the popular Pub2Pub Charity Fun Run and Festival tomorrow. Whether you run, jog or walk, take on the 3, 6 or 12km or just cheer on others, you’re a winner for raising money for some great local organisations. Finally, if you’re near Freshie tomorrow check out the pop- up organic market. We’re trialling this market every Sunday for four weeks, after the local community identified a need for fresh produce after the IGA and Harbord Growers moved on. The markets will feature fresh organic fruit, vegies and yoghurt from 8am from the lawn of the Harbord Literary Institute Building. It’s plastic free so don’t forget your re-useable shopping bags and why not stop in for brekkie and a cuppa at Freshie Village while you are there. Have a great weekend.
