Memorial Park upgrade
- Description
Memorial Park playground being upgraded. The 'poppy' theme is to represent the park as a WWII memorial.
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 1952 and in 1954 Fitzroy Park was officially dedicated as Memorial Park. The memorial no longer exists but the park still serves as a memorial to those who served in WWII.
