: : If it's plural, then it should be "Princes". With an apostrophe it's
: : possessive.

: : The Melway shows it as "Princes" (without apostrophe).

Sorry I forgot to Add with Princes Park it is the park belonging to
the Prince, therfore in correct grammar it would be Prince's Park, but
as I have said No place name has an apostrophe, so it was removed (in
the 1930's ??) hence Princes Park.  It is not the plural.  


: No place name in Victoria (and possibly Australia) has an 
: apostrophe in the name.  It was changed a while ago.  
: Hence it is Princes Park.

: So please when typing a place name, it might be grammatically 
: correct don't put in the apostrophe.
