History
Ferryden Park was formed in 1924 by a subdivision of part section 398 of the Hundred of Yatala by William Duthie, dairy man of an area of land known as Tam O'Shanter Belt.
Prior to the Second World War, Ferryden Park mainly consisted of pastures, and open land. Its development as a residential area coincided with the post-war boom in the 1950s. In the 1990s, plans were made for the Westwood Urban Renewal Project, of which Angle Park, Mansfield Park, Woodville Gardens, and Athol Park are also a part. Ferryden Park was the first suburb to be rejuvenated as part of the project. From 2001 this involved the demolition of many properties of the South Australian Housing Trust which were replaced by private housing, a smaller number of newer, townhouse-style housing trust homes, and new green spaces.
