Memorial Park toilets have recently been decorated with a mural by local artist Gembol. Commissioned by the PNCC, the mural represents the role of women on the home front during WWII. Memorial Park, formerly Fitzroy Park, was a former gravel pit. The park was first created during the 1930s. In 1954 the park was renamed Memorial Park.
