Local historians weekly "Back Issues" article in the Manawatū Standard. History of the development of Memorial Park. Before it became a public park, it was used by New Zealand Railways as a ballast pit. The Council purchased the site and Fitzroy Park was opened in 1938, with the lakelet completed and work on the swimming pool underway. In 1954 the park was renamed Memorial Park, commencing its memorial history. A wide range of sporting and recreational facilities have been added over the years. Today, Memorial Park is one of Palmerston North's leading attractions.
