Corner of Point Leader Drive and Moreton Terrace
The granite War Memorial obelisk was donated by the Pearse family in 1919 as a tribute to Francis Pearse and was originally erected in the Dongara Cemetery. In 1938 Thomas Clarkson donated the land for Memorial Park to the Irwin Roads Board and the War Memorial was moved from the cemetery to the park. The obelisk is decorated with traditional wreath designs carved into opposite faces beneath which are inscribed the names of local men killed in the World War I and World War II. Plaques to commemorate those who served in Korea, Vietnam and other conflicts were erected on the pillars of the entry gate in 2000.
