Originally named Mountain View Park, it became Queen Elizabeth Park sometime after the 1930s. In the park is a small fountain dedicated to ten time mayor
Hector Francis McKinnon who died in 1929 of burns sustained in a fire on his dairy. Elsewhere in the park are benches and picnic tables in a pastoral area shaded by mature coniferous trees.
Activities available in the park include a tennis court and a large sports field in which are a baseball diamond and soccer fields. The park has several shrub and flower beds. When we visited in mid April a few plants and shrubs were in bloom, most notably the crocuses.
One of the planters is a large circle with a deciduous tree in the centre. The planter is raised about two feet by three courses of rusticated concrete blocks, with smoother flat blocks providing seating all around. The planter is more or less centered in the treed picnic area of the park. On its south side is a bronze plaque, dedicated on October 18, 1997, with the following text:
"Spiritual care lies at the heart
of hospice. We will bring you hope
not for tomorrow but for this day."
