Solomon Peace Memorial Park

Solomon Peace Memorial Park is a war memorial located on Mount Austen Road in Honiara that honors fallen soldiers. The site features a prominent white structure, commemorative plaques, and landscaped gardens that visitors can walk through.

The memorial was established in 1981 by Japanese war veterans to honor those who died during the Guadalcanal campaign in World War II. The site marks a turning point in the Pacific war when fighting intensified between Japanese and American forces.

The memorial serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors reflect on the sacrifices made during the war. People come here to mark anniversaries and remember the soldiers who died in the fighting.

The memorial sits on a hilltop away from Honiara's center and is accessible by foot or vehicle. Be aware that the terrain is elevated and can be slippery after rain, so wear appropriate footwear.

From this location, visitors can see remnants of defensive positions scattered across the surrounding landscape where soldiers once held their ground. The vantage point helps people understand the geography of the fighting that took place here.
