Canberra Peace Park, Memorial park near National Library, Australian Capital Territory

Canberra Peace Park is a memorial park near the National Library featuring a central granite plinth with peace symbols and a circular water fountain. Cobbled granite walkways connect formal lavender gardens and numerous seating areas throughout the grounds.

Canberra Peace Park was built in 1986, the United Nations Year of Peace. The monument at its centre was unveiled later, on 24 October 1990, by Governor-General Bill Hayden. Its dedication statement invites all who visit to commit themselves to peace and the elimination of weapons of mass destruction.

The word "Peace" is incised on the quartered plinth in the official languages of the United Nations and in the language of the local Ngunnawal people. The same plinth carries a statement of dedication inviting all who visit to commit themselves to peace and the elimination of weapons of mass destruction.

The park is situated between Lake Burley Griffin and the National Library, making it easily accessible on foot. Multiple seating areas allow visitors to spend time at their own pace while exploring the different zones of the space.
