History
Nantu Wama translates to “horse plain” in Kaurna language and was given this name due to the horse depasturing which occurs on the site, bordered by Lefevre Terrace to the west.
Historically many parks used for grazing sheep, cattle and horses were once burnt rather than mowed. Sir John George Shaw-Lefevre, born 1797 and died 1879, was one of South Australia’s colonisation commissioners and a huge supporter and influencer of the plan to develop the colony.
