This was the site of the old Jacob’s farmhouse. Charles and Emma Jacob began farming the site c1926 and purchased the farm outright in 1938. The land became known locally as Jacob’s Paddock and remained with the family until 1966, after Charles Jacob had died. In 1975, Brisbane City Council bought the farm to create a large, 118 acre park. It was named Wally Tate Park to honour a local resident who worked at the Kuraby Railway Station for 35 years; and who founded the Kuraby Cricket Club that leased part of the park from 1993 to 1998. The park retains the original farm orchard plus other trees planted by the Jacob family.
