Graceville Memorial Park, Heritage-listed park in Graceville, Australia

The 6.6-hectare park features a granite war memorial column, cricket ovals, tennis courts, and croquet lawns bordered by Oxley Road and Plumridge Street.

Established in 1904 as Graceville Recreation Reserve, the park received its current name by 1926 and gained Queensland Heritage Register status in September 2006.

The memorial commemorates 51 soldiers and one nursing sister from Sherwood Shire who lost their lives during World War I through public subscriptions.

Three cricket ovals, tennis facilities, and croquet grounds provide recreational spaces while the 1936 grandstand offers seating for sporting event spectators.

Memorial plantings of bunya pines and cotton trees form an avenue along the park, creating a ceremonial path toward the war memorial monument.
