Mayfield Park - three extra snippets of information

From a newspaper known as the Dandenong Journal, largely pertaining to the Glen Alvie estate which was located close to Mount Waverley railway station (there is a bit of almost-readable material about it on Mount Waverley's wikipedia page).

Glen Alvie itself has some internal reserves; look at the odd arrangement around Sherwood Road and there is also a more conventional IR in Winbourne Road to its north-west. It is the local progress association which is promoting discussion re: major open space in the area and pressing council to find a large recreation area. Mayfield Park fits the bill. No particular explanation of why it should then be an internal reserve-styled space, though Glen Alvie is setting a style there.
