"People's Playground is the first complete history of the Albert Park, which has always had a place close to the hearts of Melbourne's people.
The authors chart the park's history from a food-gathering area for the Aboriginal people, through the early days of grandiose dreams and setbacks, with changing patterns of use for sport and leisure, to its condition today. controversy, funding crises, government neglect, commercial interest and passionate partisanship have always contributed to the colourful saga of this area." -- Back cover
