Hudson ParkHudson Park Driving Range is currently undergoing levelling and turfing works and is due to re-open on Monday 2 January. The below picture is of the park in 1960, prior to its redevelopment as a golf course. The land on which Hudson Park is located was once part of Rookwood Cemetery but was isolated when the goods railway was built in 1916. After much lobbying by Strathfield Council to the NSW Government, Hudson Park formally transferred to Council control and later Hudson Oval and Hudson Golf Course were developed.
