About
This memorial commemorates service personnel who served in overseas conflicts. It was relocated to this site from the old bridge in 1934. The park is also home to a band rotunda, which serves as a memorial to King Edward VII and King George V, erected in 1911. Two special trees also commemorate lost loved ones: a rimu tree and a plane tree from Kos, Greece, believed to be descended from the Tree of Hippocrates. The white crosses in the Field of Remembrance honour local soldiers who fell between 1914 and 1918.
