Solidarity Park, landscaped park containing five memorial structures in Perth, Western Australia
Solidarity Park is a memorial site in Perth that contains monuments and walls honoring workers and their struggles. Built in 1997, the space features pathways, green areas, and structures made of brick and granite that reflect the history of the labor movement in Western Australia.
The park originated in 1997 from a workers' protest that began in 1996 with a caravan opposite Parliament House, as workers opposed new labor laws. Those laws were repealed in 2001 following a change in government, and the park was listed as a heritage site in 2004.
The park is known as The Workers' Embassy and serves as a symbol of the labor movement and workers' struggle for fair conditions. The memorials and walls here tell stories of workers who stood together and fought for their rights.
The park is located at the corner of Parliament Place and Harvest Terrace in West Perth and is easily accessible on foot or by public transport. Visitors will find benches, pergolas, and barbecue areas for resting and reflection.
The park holds the most union monuments in all of Western Australia and houses the Mark Allen memorial dedicated to a young union organizer who died on a building site. The triple-8 symbol on the memorial refers to the long struggle for the eight-hour workday.
