Now transformed into an urban parkland, from 1848 to 1974 Pipemakers Park was home to boiling down works, meat preservation and export facilities, a quarry, and finally the Hume Pipe Company for which it is named. The historic bluestone factories have been refurbished for community use, and parks include dense bushland, winding pathways and a wetland.
