Europa ParkPrint Page 
Europa Park is a lasting memorial, dedicated to the thousands of migrants who lived in the Cowra Migrant Centre in the late 1940s and mid-1950s. Europa Park is a permanent reminder and place of recognition for the families and descendants of those migrants.
A memorial wall has been built and its surrounds contain personalised pavers for the families wishing to be recognised in the memorial. If you have a connection with the Cowra Migrant Camp, you are invited to buy a paver and have your name or family name recorded on it.
