Kilburn / Jack Watkins Reserve and Dog Park, South Australia

            Jack Watkins Reserve is a park adjacent to the Islington Railway Workshops, Kilburn.

Jack Watkins was a union organiser and former president of the Asbestos Diseases Society of South Australia.
He successfully lobbied to remove asbestos and other toxic materials from the railway site and adjacent properties.

The park was opened in August 2003 as a tribute to the large number of former railway workers who succumbed to asbestos related diseases while working at the yard.

The park has a central memorial featuring pillars, inscribed Tough Times, Strength, Mates, Ratbags. There is also a playground, barbecue facilities and a dog park. 

A memorial service is held each year in the park on 14 November to honour the victims of asbestos related disease.
