Description / Background

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.

Background information:

Anzac Day marks the anniversary of the first major military action fought by the Australian and New Zealand forces in the First World War at Gallipoli, Turkey. The word Anzac stands for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps who took part in that action.
