Birdwood Park Memorial GrovePrint Page 
The Birdwood Park Memorial Grove commemorates those who served in World War One. It was officially named "Birdwood Grove" on the 14th July 1917.
Towards the end of World War One, the Reserve became a Memorial Park to commemorate the Shire residents who had served in that conflict. Accordingly it was renamed "Birdwood Park" after the Commanding Officer of the ANZAC Forces. There is a commemorative planting of a small Memorial Avenue of oaks and poplars near the north boundary and scattered Monterey pines mainly on the hill section. In between the Wars, school children would visit the Park on Empire Day and place floral tributes beside the trees.
