Liverpool, Pioneers’ Memorial Park

Pioneers’ Memorial Park is located along the Hume Highway, between Campbell Street and Macquarie Street, in the south western suburb of Liverpool. This was originally the site of the cemetery of St Luke's Anglican Church. In 1970, the cemetery was converted into a rest park, featuring the original headstones in a memorial wall.

  1. I think the idea of Pioneers’ Memorial Park is spot on! Because the rest park brings green and peaceful surroundings into the city. And because a memorial wall is historically valuable.

  8. I always find the walls made of headstones a strange idea - not sure why!

  9. Great idea to preserve the headstones that way. Still honoring the dead though not on top of their graves.
