20.01.2022 Lest We Forget Today Kardinia Park & Geelong Cats commemorate those that have served our country. Lead by Wayne Closter who is a Vietnam Veteran and Geelong Cats past player, having played 191 games from 1964-1975. "We remember the sacrifice of those men and women who gave so much for Australia in all conflicts.... We pay our respects today especially to the Geelong Football Players who answered the call to serve their country in the Boer War, World War I, World War II and Vietnam. We also acknowledge with a purple poppy the deeds and sacrifices of the animals who have served alongside them in all conflicts. Today we honour their sacrifice" The ANZAC Memorial outside the Players Stand pays tribute to the 13 players who made the ultimate sacrifice. Featuring alongside Wayne is our Deputy Chair Gil Costa & CEO Gerard Griffin along with CEO Brian Cook from the Geelong Cats #lestweforget

19.01.2022 Did you know that Kardinia Park was a Zoo?! Back in 1903, thirty-one years after it was first proclaimed a public park, Kardinia Park opened a zoo. The zoo hosted around 20 species of animals, and was described as a ‘magnificent reserve of some 40 acres’. As the zoo grew, they gained African and Indian monkeys, deer, various kangaroos, emu, ostriches, wallaby, lemur and an elephant that visitors could ride on. When the zoo officially closed remains unknown, but it’s believed it was some time during the Second World War. This is also when the Geelong Football Club moved from playing their home games in the VFL from Corio Oval to Kardinia Park.
