Canberra Peace Park is a beautiful memorial garden along Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra’s Parliamentary Triangle, near the National Library of Australia. The park was created during the United Nations International Year of Peace in 1986 and formally dedicated in 1990 as a place for reflection and commitment to peace. Its central monument features the word “Peace” inscribed in the official languages of the United Nations and the Ngunnawal language, set within formal gardens overlooking the lake formed by the Molonglo River.
