Ivanhoe Park can well be described as Manly's green heart.Manly Oval’s wide-open spaces, Ivanhoe Park Botanic Gardens, and the area’s most significant variety of large trees make it an excellent place to escape the hustle and bustle of Manly.The Park’s history as a place for the community to come together, play sport and take some time out dates way back to the mid-late 1800s. To ensure Ivanhoe Park meets community needs in the future while respecting its cultural landscape and built heritage, Council, working with the community, has approved a Masterplan and Plan of Management.The Masterplan sets out a range of improvements.There will be a new central lawn area with grass terraces, improved entry into the Park and an upgraded path system, better fencing and border gardens and the Scout Hall will get a major facelift.The grandstand named after Tony Miller, is planned to blend in rather than being the dominant feature of the park.
