In a laudable desire to improve the local Recreation Ground, and at the same time to pay a tribute of respect to those who have gone to the front from Glengarry, a number of local residents have planted the Reserve with ornamental trees. In a few years these should greatly improve the appearance of the Reserve, and the Glengarry people are deserving of commendation
for having taken such a step to honor the brave men who have gone to fight for King and Country on foreign soil.

Sometime after World War One a large "square" of cypress and/or radiata pines was planted completely encircling the Glengarry Recreation Reserve by local school children to honour the war veterans. Many of these were later removed for a variety of reasons but some remain along the southern boundary of the reserve with Cairnbrook Road and along the common boundary with the Primary School.
