Kate Cocks deserves better

Kate Cocks, MBE, was the first female police officer, not just in Adelaide, but in the entire British Commonwealth.

Neither the City of Adelaide nor the State Government are showing any respect to the Park that honours a pioneering South Australian.

South Australia's first female doctor would be turning in her grave if she knew how poorly the City Council and the former State Government were managing the Park named in her honour.

We’re on a mission to get this Park worthy of the name of Helen Mayo, and celebrated as part of your Open Green Public Adelaide Park Lands.
