Memorial Park, Jerilderie
Memorial Park is home to the Jerilderie Cenotaph. It is a peaceful site created to allow people to reflect and honour the fallen and those who served and continue to serve Australia in War. The park is also home to a Leopard tank, decommissioned and donated to the Jerilderie community and Jerilderie RSL Sub-Branch in 2010.
A garden, established by the local primary schools and maintained by Jerilderie Tidy Towns, can also be enjoyed at this site. It is also located alongside the Jerilderie Lake which creates a serene environment to enjoy the Memorial Park and Garden.
Large annual events in this space include ANZAC Day & Remembrance Day commemorations.
Leopard Tank
The tank was originally in service with the Australian Army, and was allocated to the Jerilderie RSL sub-branch in 2010 when the series was decommissioned. The then Governor of NSW, Marie Bashir, unveiled the new addition to Jerilderie's military history. The tank was repainted in November 2020 by former Jerilderie local, Drew Locke. The project was funded through the Federal Government's Saluting Their Service Commemorative Program.
