'''Rumpf Avenue Reserve''' is a park located in Balwyn North located in a residential area near the intersection of [[Doncaster Road]] and [[Greythorn Road]].<ref>City of Boroondara. ''Find a park near you''. 2017. https://www.boroondara.vic.gov.au/recreation-arts/parks-and-gardens/find-park-near-you, accessed: 13 July 2019</ref> The park is located on the site of the former [[Greythorn High School]], which closed in 1994.

==History==
Early European settlement of Greythorn was almost entirely based on local agriculture. This was primarily citrus, nut and dairy farms. The present-day site of the Reserve was part of Towt's Estate, first subdivided in 1902.<ref>Arbuckle, Waddell & Fawckner. ''Towt's Estate, Balwyn, near Surrey Hills : orchard, garden or residential sites''. December 1902. http://handle.slv.vic.gov.au/10381/282899, accessed: 13 July 1902</ref> By 1944, it was a relatively small parcel of land owned by Creer G. Wilson.<ref>Sands & McDougall. ''Sands & McDougall's directory of Victoria and Canberra, A.C.T. : 1944-1945''. 1944. http://handle.slv.vic.gov.au/10381/401771, accessed: 13 July 2019</ref>

As the post-war development boom swept the eastern suburbs, the population of Balwyn North expanded significantly. This put pressure onto the limited local infrastructure to cope with the large numbers of new residents, including schools. As the wildlife sanctuary at [[Greythorn Park]] closed and the [[William Maughan|Maughan Estate]] was sold off,<ref>Boroondara City Council.
