Open Monument
Contemporary public artwork at Len T Frazer Reserve recognising Ballarat's Chinese community history.
Details
Visit Ballarat lists Open Monument as an arts-culture stop at Len T Frazer Reserve on Main Road, with listing content supplied by City of Ballarat. The tourism listing describes the work as a contemporary artwork acknowledging Chinese people in Ballarat, using 33 marble laser-etched panels with found images and text mounted on a modernist metal feature. City of Ballarat's Len T Frazer Reserve page corroborates the location and identifies Open Monument as a 430 square metre installation recognising Chinese contributions to Ballarat and the surrounding region from 1850 onward. Use it as a short free public-art and heritage pause beside the Ballarat City Skate Park and reserve facilities; the City park page lists public toilets, barbecues, playgrounds and the skate park nearby, while the tourism listing notes disabled access information from the listing owner.
