Poppy Park

In all recorded conflicts that Australia has been involved in, from Sudan in 1885 to present day Afghanistan, over 102,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen have paid the ultimate sacrifice and given their lives for the freedom we all enjoy today.

Even though we remember & commemorate collectively the battles fought, as families fade and generations pass, the individuals who gave their lives during these battles may no longer have anyone to specifically remember them & the sacrifice they made.

It is the vision of Remember a Soldier that each of our fallen heroes be remembered personally each year, by at least one family in Australia.

A number of initiatives are being established to be able to link our fallen heroes with the people of a nation grateful for the sacrifice they have made. One such initiative is Poppy Park, which will see over 102,000 poppies symbolically planted with each one having the name of a fallen hero attached to a Poppy.

The park will be open for display for 5 weeks from 21st March, 2015 to 29th April, 2015.

At the conclusion of Poppy Park the poppies will be collected and sent to the people and organisations that purchased them, to keep as their own little momento of their contribution to Poppy Park. Then come Remembrance Day people will have a poppy and the name of a fallen hero to personally remember.

Poppy Park is supported by Remember a Soldier, Penrith Council, Penrith RSL Sub Branch, Pernith CBD Corporation and Legacy.

The Poppy Park Committee invite you to consider participating by purchasing a poppy for Poppy Park and together we can ensure that every soldier who paid the ultimate sacrifice is individually remembered each and every year…

Proceeds generated from Poppy Park will be forwarded to Penrith RSL Sub Branch & Legacy, so they can continue to support our service men, women and their families who on a daily basis serve to protect us, so we can enjoy the freedom we have today.
