A memorial park located within Tamworth.
On 14 May 1912, Tamworth Municipal Council adopted the name of 'Wentworth Park' for the park in Brisbane Street. At a council meeting on 9 May 1916, Ald. Bourne moved the park be in future known as 'Anzac Park'. The motion was carried. Two columns supporting a metal framed arch bearing the words 'Anzac Park, Tamworth City Council' were erected later.
