This observation tower is located in Peace Park, along Trevenar Street in the inner west suburb of Ashbury. Behind it is the heritage listed Ashfield Reservoir which was built in 1912 and is one of a group of four similar elevated reservoirs in the Sydney Water system. The site was a brick pit and shale quarry from 1910 to 1965. It was used as a rubbish tip until it was filled in and then developed into parkland. In 1986 it was named Peace Park to mark the International Year of Peace.
