That�s my dog Max sporting the sun glasses in the picture and he is the smartest person I know. Let me tell you why.

Thank you for your comment and information. I have always thought the park was in Port Melbourne – how these suburbs merge. I have changed the first line to reflect your information. Next time I write about Gasworks Park I will make sure I have it firmly positioned in South Melbourne and Albert Park.

This is a great write-up and you are right to say locals love it.

However, I need to point out that Gasworks Park is not in Port Melbourne, it is in South Melbourne or to be even more accurate, Albert Park.

Sorry to be so pedantic but as President of the Port Melbourne Historical & Preservation Society I know we get upset when other people claim things in Port so although the Gasworks did originally straddle Pickles St into Port Melbourne, the current park does not.

That doesn’t mean it isn’t a great place and enjoyed by many locals both from Port and elsewhere in the district.
