Club History
Report
The gardens were named to commemorate Queen Victoria's younger son, Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, following an assassination attempt during his visit to Australia. In the early days of Melbourne the Edinburgh Gardens site was used for basalt quarrying and pasture.
Between 1859 and 1894, the site was established as a reserve for a public park for recreational use and popular sporting pursuits, such as cricket, (1872), bowling (1877), football (1883 - 1967), tennis (1888) and baseball (1889).In 1919, a War Memorial Arbour, (behind the Bowling Club) was erected by the various sporting clubs, including the FTC, for those who lost their lives in World War 1 and who had been connected with the clubs.
