King Edward Park is located next to Stratford’s Town Centre, on the corner of Fenton and Portia Streets. Bordering the park are the Multi Sports Complex, Stratford Primary School, Wai o Rua - Stratford Aquatic Centre, the Centennial Rest Rooms, the Stratford Holiday Park and the Girl Guide and Scout Den.

Features of the park include the Malone Gates, built in 1923 as a tribute to Colonel William George Malone, who was killed at Chunuk Bair, Gallipoli, in August 1915. These memorial gates have recently been enhanced by detailed lighting, which highlights the importance of the Malone Gates to Stratford.
