Formerly known as Willis Road Park in the Rural Municipality of West St. Paul, it was re-named as part of the 100th municipal anniversary celebrations. The park was dedicated on 26 May 2016 by Mayor Bruce Henley and Councillors Cheryl Christian, Peter Campbell, Detlef Hindemith, and Stan Parag, with a monument erected at the northern edge of the park to mark the ceremonial event. A time capsule was also buried near the monument, lead by Arthur Edward “Art” Christensen.
