Description

Memorial Park (previously named Fitzroy Park) at Terrace End, was formerly a metal pit used by the Railways Department for ballast, from about 1876-1937. The Palmerston North City Council purchased the 21 acre site in 1938 and developed it into a recreational and sporting area. A WWII memorial was erected in 1952 and in 1954 the park was officially renamed Memorial Park. In 1983 the obelisk was removed and the gates now stand as the official memorial.
