The small triangular reserve at the junction of Main Street, Park Street and Avenue Road was originally the site of Maori meeting house. In c1899 the reserve was enclosed with a white post and black chain fence, as seen here. The Returned Soldiers Association built a concrete surround and Fallen Soldiers Memorial on the site in 1920.
