Wiley Park owes its name to a 20 acre reserve left in the will of J.V. Wiley, a shoemaker, in 1906 as a park and recreation ground for local residents. The council debated the gift before a public meeting agreed to accept it. Today the park is bounded by King Georges Road, Canterbury Road, Clio Street and Edge Street.
The suburb lies 17 kilometres south-west of the Sydney CBD in the City of Canterbury-Bankstown, with a shopping strip near Wiley Park railway station and the Cao Dai Temple on King Georges Road.
Our Canterbury care centre at 51-53 Canterbury Road looks after Wiley Park families, day or night. Burials and cremations can be arranged at Rookwood Cemetery, Woronora Memorial Park or Forest Lawn Memorial Park.
