In Greymouth central is this place, Dixon Park. At the entrance are War Memorial gates and pillars which were erected in 1922 to honour and commemorate former pupils and staff of the local school who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the First World War.
The band rotunda is a short walk away. It was built in 1910 and was used for musical performances and other public events until the 1930s. It was originally located at the intersection of Boundary Street and Mackey Streets (so in the shopping district) and later moved here where it permanently sits.
Linking up with Skywatch Friday and Tom's Signs.

...this looks like a peaceful spot, let there be peace!
A peaceful and green place.
I love that little band rotunda. Nice photos
Serene.
I like old monuments such as what you found. I love that they preserved and moved the band rotunda rather than tear it down.
I also love your header with all the cool cars.
