| Location 8: Progress Park and Cannery Creek |
| Patterson Parade, Northgate East | |
Before the European settlement, Cannery Creek was just a chain of waterholes. This small natural water course was remembered as being a clear stream with white water lilies growing beneath the bridge which carried Northgate Road (now Earnshaw Road).
Some local businesses along the water course, after 1947, also used it as an alternative rubbish dump. It quickly became a constructed waterway simply for drainage purposes. After improved drainage overcame the problem of industrial waste in the creek, a park was established and maintained.
Originally know as NEPA (Northgate East Progress Association) Park, in 1998 it was renamed Progress Park. A unique feature of Progress Park is the sculpture garden which was established in 1993.
