Glen Parva War Memorial Hall stands on Dorothy Avenue as a memorial to the fallen of World War II. Within the hall a roll of honour is displayed.
In 2001, War Memorials Trust contributed £200 towards a project which completely refurbished the hall to enable it to continue to operate and fulfill its dual functions as a community hall and a means of remembering the sacrifice of the fallen.
The inscription on the dedicatory roll of honour reads:
"Glen Parva War Memorial Hall
