The Children's Millennium Monument was unveiled by former President Janet Jagan on March 15, 2000. It consists of a hemisphere at the base, an upside-down 'L' and the rising sun at the top of the structure. The vertical portion of the upside-down 'L' signifies the strength and growth of children, the shorter horizontal portion of the 'L' reflects the unlimited potential of children and the rising sun signifies the development of children.

An inscription on the hemisphere at the base reads as follows, "Every child has the right to, A Name and Nationality, A Family, Healthcare, Education, Play ..." There are six benches around the monument representing the six races of Guyana. The monument was designed by the artist Michael Khan.
