The park is named for August Pelzer who was Adelaide’s city gardener from 1899 to 1932. His influence is evident in thousands of plantings not only in this Park, but throughout the Park Lands.
Odd fact: Historians have argued that the small corner triangle of land east of Hutt Road should be included as part of Park 19, but the City Council prefers to limit Park 19's eastern boundary to Hutt Road.
