[5] The name Ugly Land (also seen as Uglieland) was used in the era between the World War I and the Centenary of Western Australia in 1929 due to the Ugly Men's Association being involved with management of various events at the park in its history.
It also was considered as a significant entertainment venue for poorer sections of the community.
[6] The Ugly Men's Association lost an income generator when White City was closed.
[8] In the 1920s the amusement park caused moral panic due to the allegations of gambling[9] and other activities deemed unsuitable.
