Like other parks in Kanata north, this park honours a Canadian who was awarded a military decoration. In this case, Ed Hollyer earned the Military Cross in 1953 in Korea.

In 2002, the city of Ottawa began construction of this medium size park, 1.19 hectares (2.9 acres). The park is bounded on the north by Bellrock Drive and on the west by Gray Crescent. The best parking is along Gray Crescent northbound.

By the time this waymark is published, the cited geocache may be marked as missing (GC1NPDJ).
