Haley park is named in honour of local track and field legends, the Haley brothers, Joe and Pat.
Joe won silver in the high jump in the 1934 British Empire Games and was the first resident of Trail to compete in the Olympics. Joe has held the Canadian high jump record and the Warfield track oval was named in his honour.
Pat Haley was a member of the 4X100 relay team which won their event in the 1937 British Empire Games, setting a world record in doing so. A member of the Canadian Olympic team, he would have competed in the 1940 Finland Olympics, were they not cancelled.
Between the two northerly ball fields is a small playground to keep the kiddies occupied while the old foggies wale away at the baseball. The apparatus consists of a jungle gym collection of climbing apparati and a circular slide on an area of pea gravel.
