History
The area used to be Maroubra Speedway until it was demolished and renamed in 1947.[3]
Coral Sea Park references the Battle of the Coral Sea of 1942, considered a turning point of World War 2.[4][5]
Several of the surrounding streets are named after U.S. warships, such as Chicago Avenue, New Orleans Crescent, Yorktown Parade and Astoria Circuit.[5][6]
