Toogoolawah War Memorial, War memorial in Cressbrook Street, Queensland, Australia.

Toogoolawah War Memorial stands in a fenced enclosure fronting Cressbrook Street in McConnel Park. It consists of a sandstone pedestal and obelisk on a stepped base of concrete and rock-faced sandstone, with First World War marble honour rolls recessed into each side of the pedestal. The entablature has egg-and-dart carving, the gable above features leaf carving, and the east side of the base bears a wreath with the words OUR BOYS HONOUR.

The memorial was commissioned in 1916 and unveiled in March 1917, making it the second war memorial of its type constructed in Queensland. It was built during World War I, when such monuments became widespread across Australia to honor the fallen.

A metal plate added in 1955 names the 15 local citizens who died in the Second World War; two plaques from 1988 commemorate service in post-1945 conflicts, including Korea, Malaya, Borneo and Vietnam. The marble honour rolls recessed into the pedestal list the district's First World War dead, and the base carries a wreath inscribed OUR BOYS HONOUR.

The memorial is located in McConnell Park on Cressbrook Street, a public space with recreational facilities and green areas. The site is easily accessible on foot and best visited during quieter morning or late afternoon hours.

The park's entrance drive is flanked by square gateposts beside a weatherboard library, and two benches there carry cast-iron supports bearing the letters McCP. A cairn holding a time capsule was placed in the park for the 1988 bicentenary, and the Pioneer Memorial also contains a time capsule.
