About Merrylands Remembrance Park
Memorial Monument at Merrylands Remembrance Park
Merrylands Remembrance Park has a memorial monument built in 1922 by the Prospect and Sherwood Soldiers Memorial Association, a volunteer-led group. Its plaque honours local community members who gave their lives in the Great War of 1914 to 1918. An honour roll headed Lest we forget is attached to the sides of the column and lists the names of those commemorated. The monument stands on a concrete and tile platform, and its polished panels carry gold lettering.
Cannon, Lone Pine and Garden at Merrylands Remembrance Park
Merrylands Remembrance Park is set within a garden enclosed by a rendered brick retaining wall. A tiled path runs from the monument platform to a cannon positioned at its end, so visitors can view both features in one short walk. The cannon is a military feature that complements the First World War memorial. The garden also contains a Lone Pine planted on Remembrance Day 2018.
