A very appropriate and respectful memorial honouring the lives lost in this tragic event. Lovely setting beside the river. Close to town - hop off at tram stop 4.

This is a wonderful way to remember those whose lives were tragically lost. Such a peaceful place to reflect. Very appropriate and somewhere all Kiwis should visit at least once

A fabulous idea. It gives you pause every time you walk by here. We'll set out along the river..a nice walk on a sunny day.

A touching memorial made even more personal as the person we were with had lost friends in the earthquake. It is well done, reminds me a bit of the Viet Nam Memorial in DC. It doesn’t take long to see it but it is well...More

It's such a sad memorial, but that's why it's so moving. I definitely recommend taking a few minutes to stop and really take it in, preferably early in your trip.

Visited this memorial for the simple reason of paying my respects to the people who tragically lost their lives during the earthquake. Beautiful and fitting memorial.

Names carved onto a wall, including the many Japanese teenagers who were attending English classes in the basement of the CTV building that collapsed. Worth a quick look and contemplation.
