Sir Joseph Banks Park is a 28 hectare area of parkland bordering the western half of Foreshore Drive, once referred to as Foreshore Reserve and Sir Joseph Banks Pleasure Gardens, were renamed in 1995 to Sir Joseph Banks Park.
The original Foreshore Reserve consisted of planted bushland created on land that was reclaimed from Botany Bay during the development of Port Botany in 1970's. This area included 6 hectares of the original sand dunes and small pockets of remnant vegetation.
These famous pleasure grounds by Botany Bay were the main attraction of the old Sir Joseph Banks Hotel in its heyday in the 19th Century. In the 1840's and 1850's the Sir Joseph Banks Zoological and Botanical Gardens featured the colony's first zoo with Elephants, Bengal Tigers and Bears. Other attractions included walkways and arbours, sports area, including Australia's first professional foot racing track, playgrounds, an amphitheatre and a large lunch pavilion.
From 1845 through to the 1910 the Hotel and its famed Pleasure Gardens was Australia's equivalent of an European spa resort. However, the fortunes of the Hotel and its garden declined and in the 1920's the estate was subdivided with the remnant bayside gardens becoming a public park.
It was for over forty years that the former gardens remained vacant mown grassland until Botany Council decided to undertake an interpretative recreation of the former flamboyant Victoria Pleasure Gardens as its 1988 Bicentennial Project.
Designed by Council's Landscape Architect, Andrew Prowse, and built predominately by council staff the construction got underway in September 1987 and took several years to complete.
