Esplanade Park, Fremantle

[1] Situated on Marine Terrace and opposite the Esplanade Hotel, the reserve features about 100 mature Norfolk Island pines (araucaria heterophylla) and the Explorers' Monument.

[3] The latter conflicts with the current name of nearby Fremantle Oval which was previously known as "Barracks Green Field".

In 1831, two years after settlement, Henry Reveley built a stone jetty nearby, possibly from Anglesea Point near Bathers Beach.

Winter storms continued to cause damage to the foreshore buildings and a sea wall was built by convicts (c.1880) which partly alleviated the problem, but encroachment from the sea and sand drift persisted.

In 1873 the kilometre-long Long Jetty was built nearby, extending from Anglesea Point.
