About Mawson Park
War Memorial and Gardens at Mawson Park
Mawson Park has a sandstone War Memorial obelisk, established in 1991, and an Armistice Centenary memorial unveiled on 9 November 2018. The Armistice memorial stands in a courtyard with a fountain and name plaques, and Naval, Air Force and Army memorials also sit in the park. A Gallipoli pine with a plaque grows in the grounds, and a memorial commemorates Warrant Officer Class II Kevin Arthur Wheatley, a posthumous Victoria Cross recipient. Formal ceremonies for Anzac Day and Remembrance Day are held at the War Memorial, and the beautiful floral gardens make Mawson Park a popular setting for wedding photos.
