In October 2013, this Winnipeg park was dedicated in honour of John McKenzie “Jock” McGeachan, who served as a councillor for the Municipality of Transcona (1946-1947) and a machinist for the Canadian National Railway for 35 years. He was involved in the establishment of the Transcona Public Parks Board and Transcona’s first public playground, in 1946. It supplements a monument in the Rotary Centenary Park.
