Description

Anzac Park, also known as The Strand Park and Townsville War Memorial, is a heritage-listed memorial and park located at The Strand, Townsville CBD, City of Townsville, Queensland, Australia.

The park was first built in 1912 and was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992. Initially, the park's main focus was on providing a recreational area for the settlers of Townsville, as it was ideally situated on the beach and near the early commercial port precincts.

Anzac Memorial Park is a popular travel destination in Townsville, Australia. The park is a formal and civic commemorative park in Townsville and is home to several memorials, including the Cenotaph, which was unveiled in April 1924 in memory of the soldiers who lost their lives in WW1. The park is also home to a memorial arch that was built over the entrance gates prior to Anzac Day 1934.

Aside from the memorials, the park is perfect for relaxation and recreation. It provides many vantage points along the shoreline, offering views of the Coral Sea and its lush green surroundings.
