Sturt Park Reserve And Titanic Memorial
Sturt Park was first gazetted as the Central Reserve in 1895 and was officially known as Sturt Park in 1944, to commemorate the centenary of the inland
explorations of Captain Charles Sturt in 1844-45.
Near the rotunda, stands a memorial to the heroic bandsmen on the ill-fated Steamship Titanic who continued to play as the ship went down in a valiant
effort to quell the panic of the passengers. The memorial was erected because of the feeling among the Broken Hill bandsmen that a lasting monument
should be erected to the ship's band.
Beautiful Sturt Park has large grassed areas, play equipment for children, a covered picnic area with tables and chairs and a wonderful display of roses and
flowers.
