ANGUS FACEY
1909 - 1984
Angus Facey was born at Cranbourne in 1909 and joined his father’s Dandenong Real Estate business known as Frank Facey Real Estate in the early 1930s. He was an early pioneer in the Dandenong and Berwick area real estate industry and was also well respected for his community work with the Rotary Club of Dandenong, the community youth movement and the Dandenong Uniting Church.
In 1967, he purchased the 65 acre property surrounding what is now this reserve. He then built his home and farmed the property until it was subdivided in the 1980s and this Reserve was set aside for community use as parkland.
