Centenary Park

Located in Charters Towers, Centenary Park has the gold discovery monuments, picnic tables, gas barbecues and is always cool and shady. Centenary Park also has an interesting history tied to the park.

The area was first gazetted as Reserve for Public Purposes in 1888. In 1941 the last gazette Order in Council set aside the area as a Reserve for Park Purposes and named it "Sayers Park".

From the City's very early days, the park was called "Harvey's Reserve". During 1972 the park was re-named "Centenary Oval". The 1941 naming had mostly been forgotten by this time, although "Harvey's Reserve" is still the name used by older Cricketers.
