This article was published by The Advocate on the 19th June 1991 as part of its regular feature "Street Watch". This block of land was once one of the creepiest blocks of land in Sunshine (Deer Park). Nobody knows why nothing grows on it or how long the land has stood vacant. The block is adjacent to the Deer Park Football Club oval, wedge between the players rooms and a private house. It is completely fenced, although by whom, nobody knows. The Sunshine Council owns the land. which was donated by ICI Chemicals as part of a package which included the football oval site, but the Council admits to knowing absolutely nothing about the land. The soil is black and there is no sign of life on its surface. Not even one blade of grass survives. In 2026, the club rooms have gone, the fence has gone and the land is still vacant however grass and trees are now growing on the block.7002.01 - Deer Park Oval The Creepist Block Of Land In Sunshine - The Advocate 19th June 1991 Page 7.jpg 7002.02 - John McLeod Reserve 2026 7002.03 - John McLeod Reserve 2026 7002.04 - John McLeod Reserve 2026john mcleod reserve, ballarat road, deer park, deer park oval
