St David's Park in Hobart celebrated its centenary on Friday, with a young giant sequoia planted to mark the event.
Earlier this year, the park's two 88-year-old giant sequoias were removed after they had been affected by fires and vandalism.
Timber from the dead trees will be repurposed in a variety of community projects.
Significantly younger than their predecessors, giant sequoias have returned to Hobart's St David's Park.
The trees, aged between 5 and 7 years old, were planted to mark 100 years of the public park.
Dozens gathered for a garden party to celebrate the centenary and to watch one of the two new giant sequoias be planted.
Hobart residents Roseanna and Chris were among the crowd. They said it was sad to see the original sequoias die before they turned 100.
In the wild, giant sequoias can live for thousands of years.
"Those trees were young in their lifetime," Roseanna said.
City of Hobart open spaces manager Sean Black said the replanting was a meaningful moment.
"My children have grown up in Hobart and have played under those trees," he said.
St David's Park was established as a burial ground in 1804.
The cemetery closed in 1872 and experienced a period of disrepair before reopening as a park in 1926.
