Gympie Memorial Park, War memorial park in Gympie, Queensland, Australia

Gympie Memorial Park is a heritage-listed park in Gympie, Queensland, designed by Harry Moore and Alfred Herbert Foster and built from 1919 to 1921. Its focal point is a timber bandstand erected in 1919–1920 as a memorial to bandmaster Frederick Thomas Percival. The park occupies a triangular site in Nash's Gully, bounded by River Road and Reef and Young streets, on land donated by the Henderson family.

The park was established between 1919 and 1921 through community donations and a land gift from the Henderson family to honor soldiers from World War I and the Boer War. It quickly became a central place for local remembrance.

The bandstand built in 1919–1920 doubles as a memorial to Frederick Thomas Percival, a respected local bandmaster. Music thus sits alongside remembrance in the park's design, and the timber structure remains the focal point of the grounds.

The park occupies a triangular site bounded by River Road, Reef Street and Young Street in Nash's Gully, below the level reached by the Mary River floods of 1893 and 1898. There is no direct access from Mary Street, the main commercial thoroughfare, so approach from River Road.

The bandstand built in 1919–1920 doubles as a memorial to Frederick Thomas Percival, a much-respected local bandmaster. It was designed by Alfred Herbert Foster, architect for Brisbane City Council, while the park's landscape plan came from Brisbane's Parks Superintendent Harry Moore.
