It's 300 m wide, sediment-filled explosion (maar) crater was used a sa boat harbour in early European times and known as Gedded Basin. It was reclaimed in the 1930s and made a sports gorund, named Gloucester Park in 1935 after the visit to New Zealand by the Duke of Gloucester in that year. Late the South-western motorway was built right through the middle of the park and crater.
