Kennedy Park
Southbank’s new park at Kavanagh St will be renamed Kennedy Park, in honour of Australian actress Patricia Carmel Stewart “Pat” Kennedy, under a proposal by the City of Melbourne and Melbourne Square developer OSK Property.
With the two new roads in Melbourne Square also named after women in the arts – Hoff Boulevard and Bale Circuit are named after Dr Ursula Hoff and Alice Bale, respectively, the proposed name seeks to follow the same theme.
Patricia Kennedy (1916-2012) was a Melbourne-based actress who starred on stage, film, television and radio throughout the 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s •
