Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Edwardstown Soldiers` Memorial Recreation GroundPrint Page 
The Recreation Ground commemorates those who served in World War One.
The opening carnival in aid of the Edwardstown Soldiers' Memorial Recreation Ground was held on Saturday on 20 acres acquired at a cost of £500, in a central position for Edwardstown, Ascot Park, and Marion, and within half a mile of the Edwardstown railway station. The original option was secured from Mr. K. C. Sanders, at Harcourt Gardens, as the result of a movement inaugurated about 18 months ago by Messrs. A, Brook, W. N. Wheaton, R. Sharp, and C.A. Morden. About £100 has been paid off the property, which, has been improved gratuitiously by a working bee. The ultimate aim is to provide a soldiers' memorial sports oval, a children's playground, and gardens.
