Corroboree Park is in Ainslie, Australian Capital Territory Ainslie , ACT, Canberra , Australia . It is shaped like a semicircle, and is associated with the Aboriginal use of the area prior to European settlement in Canberra. The park was created around 1925 around what is known as the Corroboree Tree located in the park. It is in a heritage registered area, and is also a registered heritage park. What is in the park Ainslie Community Hall, which is located in Corroboree Park, is socially significant as one of the early meeting places in Canberra. The wooden hall was erected in 1927 and the adjoining 1920s school building was relocated to its current location from Russell.
