Why is it that so many towns have an Apex Park?
I might be exaggerating, but while driving through country Victoria and South Australia, it seems like every other town boasts a playground or park named “Apex Park.” A quick search on Google Maps shows that this trend extends to other states too.

That’s a great observation! The name “Apex Park” is actually tied to the Apex Club, which is an organization that started in Australia in the 1930s. The club focuses on community service and is made up of volunteers who aim to improve the quality of life in their local areas. Many towns have an Apex Park because it’s a project or initiative that local Apex Clubs have undertaken as part of their community service work. This often involves the development of recreational areas and playgrounds that provide spaces for families and children to enjoy. So, while “apex” means the top or highest point—like a peak—these parks are more about the community spirit and contributions from the Apex Clubs than any specific meaning of the word itself.
