Gair Park, War memorial at Dutton Park, Queensland, Australia
Gair Park is a war memorial site in Dutton Park, Queensland, featuring a 20-foot obelisk constructed from Brisbane Tuff stone with bronze tablets. The monument lists the names of fallen soldiers from multiple conflicts and sits on elevated ground within the park.
Brisbane City Council acquired the triangular land in 1936 at the intersection of Annerley and Gladstone Roads as a municipal reserve. After World War II, the site was transformed into a memorial garden.
The park is named after Vincent Clair Gair, a former Queensland Premier. It serves as a place where locals gather for remembrance events, particularly around Anzac Day when the community comes together at the memorial.
The park is located along Annerley Road and offers visitors timber shelters, park seats, and picnic tables for rest. The elevated position of the monument provides clear sightlines from multiple viewing angles throughout the park.
The obelisk was constructed from Brisbane Tuff stone, a local material with distinctive warm, earthy tones. This choice of stone ties the memorial visually to the local landscape and geological character of the area.
