It was originally opened on the 8th November 1924, in remembrance of the First World War and later also dedicated to those lost in the Second World War. It has a stone Memorial Archway (Grade II listed) with bronze gates, upon which memorial wreaths are hung, on Remembrance Day. The park was restored in 2005 and re-opened by the Duke of Kent on the 15th of June 2005.
