Downer was originally a CSIRO agricultural research facility, with historic plantings of pine and gum trees from the 1930s‑40s. A bronze kangaroo sculpture was unveiled in May 2019, replacing an earlier missing piece.
The ground consists of calcareous shales from the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium. This limestone‑based geology reflects Canberra’s original nickname, the ‘Limestone Plains’.
