Windsor Park Remembrance Driveway Plantation, Greenacre
Description
Windsor Park in Greenacre, NSW, forms part of the Remembrance Driveway, a living memorial that runs along the Hume and Federal Highways between Sydney and Canberra.
The park was established in 1955 as a war memorial to employees of the New South Wales Railways who served in the Second World War and the Korean War.
