JANICE DUFFY: I have been coming here for four years and a lot of work has been done to get the park to this point. I am, however, very concerned about the dam levels dropping. I don't think the fence will work, it won't keep people out.
Northcliff Melville Times paid a visit to Alberts Farm on to ask visitors about what they thought about the biodiverse public space and the Friends of Alberts Farm’s efforts to preserve it.
On 14 February at 5pm, the park was bustling with cyclists, picnic goers, and dog walkers – this is what they had to say …
ROS MAREE: I am a member of the Friends of Alberts Farm managing committee. This is the second time we are trying to fence the park. I feel the community is not involved enough. When we have cleanups it is always the same people who come.
KATHY HEARN: I feel Alberts Farm is very safe, even safer than Emmarentia and Westdene. I think this is because a lot of people don’t know about it. SCP security also patrol the park. I like that it is getting a lot more multi-racial as well.
JANNI HALLIDAY: I love the park and the dam. It is so close to home. I appreciate the work of Friends of Alberts Farm and I think the fence should go up. It is interesting that City Parks is plowing money into other parks when this can also be a flagship park.
