ANZAC Memorial Park sits at the northern end of the CBD on The Strand, overlooking the sea. The park contains memorials to those who served from north Queensland in the First and Second World Wars, and a Flame of Remembrance that burns continuously. The parkland itself is shaded by large trees and has views across to Magnetic Island.
It is a good place to pause on a walk along The Strand, and the dawn ANZAC Day service here draws a significant crowd each year. The site also marks the approximate location where the Strand waterfront ends and the headland begins, making it a natural turning point for a walk from the CBD.
