DID YOU KNOW? Carlton were originally based at Victoria Park

DID YOU KNOW? Carlton were originally based at Victoria Park before moving to Dunkirk Road.

Back when Victoria Park had rows and rows of grass Tennis courts, many clubs including Carlton based themselves there. Each club rented out courts and Carlton eventually rented four courts during their time there, until their move to Dunkirk Road in 1924.

They also occupied one half of a Timber pavilion (pictured), which is now a restaurant called Penelope's.
