Aboriginal art installation using original wharf poles at Enterprize Park.

Enterprize Park

  • Aboriginal
  • Community

Enterprize Park commemorates the spot where the first settlers aboard the ship Enterprize went ashore on 30 August 1835.

Today, it is the site of the Scar Project, a collaborative installation by Aboriginal artists who used original wharf poles from Queens Bridge to engage with the tradition of tree scarring.

Traditionally, Aboriginal people would take pieces of bark from trees to make canoes, shields or baby cradles. The resulting ‘scar trees’ would also serve as signposts for other clans to know they had entered the land of another community. These trees are rare today, but for Aboriginal people they are very precious.

Enterprize Park is the site of Melbourne Day celebrations, when the flag of the City of Melbourne is raised by the Lord Mayor of Melbourne.
