-
Plaque in honour of all women who served in the forces 1939-1945. The plaque sits below a tree in Memorial Park. 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.
