Both the park and cenotaph were erected by the municipalities of Armstrong and Spallumcheen. At the end of a long entry walk paved with brick pavers stands the cenotaph, a tall shaft of smooth granite blocks atop a broad three tiered base of granite and concrete. Near the top at the front a wreath is embossed on a central stone, well above the bronze plaques below. Near the bottom of the cenotaph is a small plaque placed in memory of those who fought and died in the Korean Campaign.
The park also contains a swimming pool, play ground equipment, beautiful flower beds, memorials, picnic tables and open areas. To the rear of the cenotaph are two World War II memorials dedicated to members of the area who did not return from the war.
