"Spomen park borbe i pobede u Čačku" je memorijalni kompleks podignut u znak sećanja na 4.560 palih boraca NOVJ, i žrtava fašizma, iz Čačka i okoline, stradalih u Drugom svetskom ratu. Spomen park se nalazi na obroncima planine Jelice i se proteže se na više od 40 hektara gradskog zemljišta. Sastoji se od nekoliko elemenata koji su kompoziciono poređani po metodi "svetog puta". Delo je arhitekte Bogdana Bogdanovića, koji ga je osmišljavao skoro deset godina (1971-1980.) Uređenje parka obuhvatalo je period 1976-1980. a svečano je otvoren 4. jula 1980. godine.
Na ulasku u spomen-park nalazi se piramidalni humak, visok 4 metra, koji je zapravo kosturnica odnosno grupna grobnica. Ova grobnica je simbol praistorijske tradicije ovog kraja. Nakon humka sledi kvadratna platforma na kojoj stoji komemorativni dolmen od jablaničkog granita, tzv. hercegovačkog gabra.
Centralna tačka spomen-parka je trodelni megaron, visok 12 metara. Zidovi megarona ukrašeni su zoomorfnim motivima - prikazima 620 divljih zveri izvedenih iz asirske, keltske, i drugih svetskih mitologija. Zveri su izvajane tako da izgleda kao da gmižu po celom zdanju. Megaron je takođe od hercegovačkog gabra. Mitske zveri su urezane i po pešačkoj stazi, ali u manjem broju, koji se ipak povećava s blizinom megarona.
The Memorial Park of Struggle and Victory in Čačak is a memorial complex built in memory of 4,560 fallen NOVJ fighters and victims of fascism from Čačak and its surroundings, who died in the Second World War. The memorial park is located on the slopes of the Jelica mountain and extends over 40 hectares of city land. It consists of several elements that are compositionally arranged according to the "sacred path" method. The park is the work of the architect Bogdan Bogdanović, who had been designing it it for nearly ten years (1971-1980). The arranging of the park was done during the period of 1976-1980. and it was officially opened on July 4th, 1980.
At the entrance to the memorial park, there is a pyramidal mound, 4 meters high, , which is actually an ossuary and a mass grave. This tomb is a symbol of the prehistoric tradition of this region. The mound is followed by a square platform on which stands a commemorative dolmen made of Jablanica granite, the so-called Herzegovinian gabbro.
The central point of the memorial park is a three-part megaron, 12 meters high. The walls of the megaron are decorated with zoomorphic motifs - depictions of 620 wild beasts derived from Assyrian, Celtic, and other world mythologies. The beasts are sculpted so that it looks like they are crawling all over the building. The megaron is also made from Herzegovina gabbro. Mythical beasts are also carved on the footpath, but in a smaller number, which nevertheless increases with the proximity of the megaron.
