Greensborough War Memorial

This park includes a cenotaph honouring 15 men from Greensborough who were killed in the First World War, which gives this park its name. The cenotaph was originally located in Main Street, Greensborough. After being moved to another park in the late 1920s, it moved to its present location in the 1950s.

War memorial realignment

In late 2025, the war memorial and cenotaph at Greensborough War Memorial Park will be relocated to the west of the park, close to the Home Front sculptures.

The new space was designed with Greensborough RSL. Work will be completed in time for Anzac Day 2026.

  • A new war memorial will be constructed to the western side of Greensborough War memorial Park
  • The new war memorial will have a low memorial wall, allowing views across the park and enough space for ceremonial events to take place
  • The rear of the new semi-circular memorial wall will have attractive planting to its rear embankment
  • A new avenue of deciduous trees will line the new memorial entrance path
  • The central cenotaph will be relocated from the current eastern war memorial to the new memorial space
  • New cricket nets have been installed at another location in the park and the old cricket nets will be removed.

The project is supported by the Victorian Government through the Better Parks and Playgrounds Program.
