Upper Riccarton War Memorial Library - memorial park
View of a mural by local artist Dcypher on the new memorial park at the site of the former Upper Riccarton War Memorial Library.
Contributor's note: "A new memorial park at the site of the Upper Riccarton War Memorial Library offers the local community a place of reflection and refuge. The War Memorial Library at 372 Riccarton Road was built in 1919 to commemorate residents who served in World War I. ... A mural designed by local artist Dcypher showcases bookshelves holding artifacts from the library, war memorabilia and nostalgic New Zealand items. ...The park acknowledges the legacy of the site by maintaining aspects of the old library, including the front façade of the building, signage, foundation stone and the book return holder,” Mr Hardy says." https://letstalk.ccc.govt.nz/waipuna-halswell-hornby-riccarton-community-board/memorial-park-honours-local-servicemen
