The gates to Albert Park commemorate Robert Williams, who was a state government politician. Robert Williams is largely credited for securing an amount of £10,000 for the development of Albert Park.
Gates in memory of Mr Robert Williams MLC will be unveiled on Sunday afternoon by the Mayor of South Melbourne (Councillor H Layfield). The gates cost £345 subscribed by citizens and are at the entrance to Albert Park, at the intersection of Clarendon street and Albert road.
