The Mothers’ Memorial was originally constructed in Margaret Street, near the intersection with Ruthven Street, and officially unveiled by the State Governor on 28 January 1922.
The mothers of local men who were killed in World War I erected the memorial. It was relocated in 1985 to East Creek Park causing great controversy at the time. A plaque (to the northwest of the intersection) denotes the original memorial site.
Other memorials, commemorating the involvement of Australia’s Armed Forces in conflicts around the world, are also located in the park.
