: If it's plural, then it should be "Princes". With an apostrophe it's
: possessive.
: The Melway shows it as "Princes" (without apostrophe).
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.
