These gate posts are all that remain of the Falcon Memorial Gates designed by David G. Limburg, architect and installed in 1956 by the Falcon Memorial Playing Fields Trust, North Sydney Boys High School and North Sydney Council. The original design featured steel gates. However these were removed, at some point, for reasons unknown. The gate posts also carried a copy of a plaque commemorating those connected with the School, who served in the Armed Forces. The original of this plaque is located in the Administration Building at North Sydney Boys High School. The original gate posts were removed in 1997 during construction works associated with the Northside Storage Tunnel. Following completion of the project in 2001 the posts and commemorative plaque were reconstructed by the Northside Storage Tunnel Alliance. Genia McCaffery Mayor of North Sydney June 2001.
