Many of the city’s parks bear the names of prominent citizens. Memory Park on Bathurst Road had originally been dedicated as a memorial to ex-Mayors Edwin Thomas McNeilly and William Ernest Bouffler. The Advance Orange Committee proposed trees be planted to the memory of all the Mayors of Orange up to 1930. On 15 May, 1935, the Mayor Dr Arthur Edmund Colvin planted a Royal Oak as a Jubilee tribute to His Majesty King George V and other trees were planted to bring the mayoral memorial up to date.
