Tree planting at the Crescent Parklets, 1931

    Interested in this word "Parklets". Online Macquarie Dictionary (free trial ! ) could not find it; nor Merriam Webster. I wonder where it came from?

    beachcomber australia Wikipedia has an entry for 'Parklet': "A parklet is a small urban park, often created by replacing several under-utilized parallel parking spots with a patio, planters, trees, benches, café tables with chairs, fountain(s), artwork, sculptures and/or bicycle parking." AB

    She's very well dressed ... can we identify this lady?

    Museums of History NSW - State Archives Collection Thanks! I thought "parklet" was a modern Californian term, but I see now it was current in 1931 - SMH 21/8/1931 page 10 - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/16827482 . I came across Bradfield's own description of his Bridge for a SMH Supplement on 19/3/1932 which is interesting reading. He uses the word parklet under the section 'Lighting Arrangements' to describe these plantings - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/28034317 . John Cowper I think it might be Mrs Davidson, wife of the Minister for Works !
