Located between Assiniboine School, Parkside Drive, Riverbend Crescent, and the Assiniboine River in St. James, development of this public green space was started around 1955 by the St. James Parks Board. Formerly known as Scott Park, this Winnipeg park was renamed in honour of Winnipeg City Councillor Jae Eadie in 2011.
