These war memorial gates consist of five concrete pillars, which hold a small gate on the left and a pair of double gates in the centre. There are also two additional metal panels, known as wing grills. On the front of three of the pillars are three white marble plaques, inscribed with honour rolls for the First and Second World Wars. On the fourth pillar is a metal honour roll plaque, listing those who served in later conflicts. Following the Second World War, a Tumbulgum War Memorial Gates Fund was created. Money was raised through various socials held in the Tumbulgum Hall. Local materials were sourced for the construction and local firms completed the work. The unveiling ceremony was held on 4 October 1948 and a detailed description of the function was published in the Tweed Daily the next day. Mr G. R. Avery, ex-president of the Tumbulgum Progress Association, was chairman, and speakers included Mr H. L. Anthony M.H.R. and Councillor A. Buckley, President of Tweed Shire. Mrs M. A. Hardy, a senior resident of the district, cut the ribbon to officially open the memorial. The gates were re-dedicated on 12 July 2007, to include the metal honour roll. Under a project funded by the Tumbulgum Community Association and Tweed Shire Council, an interpretative panel was installed close to the gates in 2013. It traces the history of the various sports that developed in Tumbulgum, and on the sports ground, as well as providing details of the 1948 and 2007 dedications of the gates and plaques. The gates are visible from the roadside and accessible by the public at all times. The traditional Anzac Day Dawn service is also held on site every year.
