The grove replaces one that was knocked down to make way for the new playground at Bicentennial Park.

The original 22 trees were planted in 1991, with each tree representing the members who passed away from the 22 Lions districts in Australia.

When the new playground was built, the architects were unaware of the significance of the trees and slated them to be removed.

However following a meeting between the four Lions Clubs and Tamworth Region Council, it was agreed to plant another grove with the original plaque marking its significance.

The new grove was planted next to Hopscotch Cafe, opposite the play equipment.
