A lovely park and great place to reflect, the murals on the toilet block were fantastic make sure you circumnavigate the whole block as each side has a different mural, very taste full
A very touching tribute to the soldiers from the area who fought in the wars. there is also an old cannon and gun and a statue that are great to look at.
Lovely to see the ammenties painted with Flanders Poppies also the tank he arch was very impressive Well Done Cooktown Remembering our Diggers so well
This is well set up and is well worth a visit. It is in the main street.
It looks like it has been updated in recent years as part of the whole Cooktown revitalisation
I had the privilege of being apart of the 100 year anniversary whilst in Cooktown. This park is a testament to the men and women who fought on the frontline and is a must see when in Cooktown. The monument contains three boulders, one of which contains plaques containing the names of those who enlisted from the Cooktown district in World War One and World War Two. The plaques were unveiled on ANZAC Day 2008. An additional memorial stone commemorating those who have served in Post World War Two conflicts was unveiled on Remembrance Day 2010. on the sight along with painted walls commemorating WW1 and WW2 an a army vehicle. A new entrance arch was opened for the 100th year anniversary. This area leads to the cemetery along a walking track also. I did not walk there.
