Damoe-Ra Park is an urban park in Darwin, Northern Territory, designated in 1996. The park was named Damoe-Ra because the park includes a spring sacred to the Larrakia women, and Damoe-Ra is the Larrakia word meaning "eye" or "spring". The park is situated below the escarpment on the coast below the Parliament House. The garden itself, together with its memorial pathway, plaques, and mosaic honours the women of the Northern Territory.
