Details: Birdwood Park, first established in 1910, is one of Newcastle’s oldest reserves.

His itinerary included Newcastle on Wednesday April 28th 1920 and included a luncheon with returned officers of the AIF. Birdwood Park was the site of the control centre for the National Emergency Services (Newcastle Branch) from September 1942 to February 1944.The service was established in 1939 to care for the public during an air raid. It was staffed by male and female volunteers as wardens, first aiders and ambulance drivers. The control centre with its 12 inch thick concrete walls, operated 24 hours a day with a staff of 12. Birdwood Park has been, and continues to be, used for events and demonstrations. Circuses were also staged at Birdwood Park in years gone by In 1947 the Newcastle Truby King Clinic for mothers and babies was established in the old air raid shelter, the Newcastle Council having obtained the quarters for the clinic when it was in danger of closing down through lack of accommodation.
