Pioneer Park Guided History Tours with the Cape Banks Society

Join local historians from Cape Banks Family History Society to discover the fascinating history of Pioneer Park located within the grounds of Eastern Suburbs Memorial Park.

Pioneer Park has many headstones that were transported from the early burial grounds of Sydney. The memorials in Pioneer Park were relocated from two of Sydney’s oldest cemeteries, Town Hall Cemetery and the Sydney Burial Ground, also known as the Devonshire Street Cemetery.
