点评:I had no idea how captivated I would be by Goulburn in my short time here... it's a truly marvellous and beautiful city. After waking up I wanted to see the Courthouse before leaving town and this park was directly opposite from it.
Belmore Park was originally the market square from as early as 1843. All sorts of merchandise was exchanged here ... pigs, sheep, garden produce. It was also the location of many local sporting events like foot races, wheelbarrow races or a game called the greasy pig.
Lady Belmore planted a tree to commemorate the opening of the railway on the 27 May, 1869... the English Oak. In 1869 it was renamed Belmore Square after the patronage of Lady Belmore.
A picket fence went around the square in 1871. ( No longer there) The fence and gate with sandstone pillars was erected in 1902 to mark the coronation of King Edward VII.
The Rotunda was locally produced and it was built in 1897 to commemorate Queen Victoria's Jubilee. The Hollis Memorial Fountain was built in memory of Dr.L.J.Hollis in 1899.
In 1899 Belmore Square was re-dedicated as Belmore Botanic Gardens.
The Boer War Memorial was erected in 1904. The granite column was erected in 1910 in memory of Mayor J.Knowlman. A large aviary existed here until 1926.
These items I have listed are not the only memorials. There is another memorial to World War 2 and various other conflicts. Also a small monument for Mayor Davies (1868). There is a glass house in the park.
With beautiful gardens, a playground, stunning trees, toilets and so much to look at... you should not miss strolling through this very beautiful park.

贝尔莫尔公园最初是集市广场,早在1843年就已存在。各种各样的商品在这里交易……猪、羊、园艺产品。这里也是许多当地体育赛事的举办地,例如赛跑、独轮车比赛以及一种名为“油腻猪”的游戏。
贝尔莫尔夫人于1869年5月27日为纪念铁路通车种植了一棵树……英国橡树。1869年,为了纪念贝尔莫尔夫人的赞助,广场更名为贝尔莫尔广场。
1871年,广场周围建起了栅栏。(现已不存在)带有砂岩柱的栅栏和大门建于1902年,以纪念爱德华七世国王的加冕典礼。
圆形大厅是当地特产,建于1897年,以纪念维多利亚女王登基五十周年。霍利斯纪念喷泉建于1899年,以纪念L.J.霍利斯博士。
1899年,贝尔莫尔广场更名为贝尔莫尔植物园。
布尔战争纪念碑建于1904年。花岗岩柱建于1910年,以纪念市长J.诺尔曼。这里一直有一个大型鸟舍,直到1926年。
我列出的这些并非仅有的纪念碑。还有一座纪念二战和其他各种冲突的纪念碑。还有一座小型的戴维斯市长纪念碑(1868年)。公园里还有一座玻璃房。
这里有美丽的花园、游乐场、壮丽的树木、厕所等等,值得一看……千万不要错过漫步在这个美丽的公园。
