Downer originated as a CSIRO agricultural research site in the 1930s and was used to grow opium poppies during World War II. Many of the large pine and gum trees around the community centre date from that era.
The suburb sits on calcareous shales of the Canberra Formation, which are overlain by Quaternary alluvium, reflecting the region’s historic description as the ‘Limestone Plains.’
A local oval bordered by Frencham, Melba, Bonython and Bradfield Streets is situated nearby, and the Dickson District Playing Fields are just under a kilometre away, offering space for sport and leisure.
