1929 On Thursday the 19th December the first stage of the major renovation of Eastern Beach was finally opened. The high cliffs were removed and replaced with lawns, trees, a children’s playground to suit all ages and a running track for picnickers. Modern dressing sheds were put in along with a unique fountain and a kiosk kiosk 2 years later. The improvements were so great they hoped for Geelong to be known as the Blackpool of Australia. Eastern Beach was fully completed by 1939 with the shark proof swimming enclosure and the children’s swimming pool.
