This park overlooks the LRT and Highlevel bridges. Just across 109 street from the legislature and right near downtown. Constable Ezio Joseph Faraone (1957-1990) was a dedicated city police officer who was killed in the line of duty. A ten-year veteran of the force, Faraone was the third Edmonton police officer since 1918 to be killed while on duty.

The 33-year-old officer, a member of the elite task force unit, was gunned down on June 25, 1990, as he approached a car believed to have been used in a bank robbery. Two men were later convicted of his murder. In the wake of Faraone’s killing, new police policy was adopted requiring all task force members to wear bullet-proof vests.

The Ezio Faraone Park includes a larger-than-life bronze sculpture of the late police officer by Edmonton artist Danek Mozdzenski. The sculpture depicts a uniformed Faraone kneeling beside a young boy. The park commemorates not only Faraone but also Edmonton’s two other slain officers, Const. Frank Beevers (d. 1918) and Const. William Leslie Nixon (d. 1919); both men were shot by assailants. The 4.25-ha. park, at the north end of the High Level Bridge, was officially

opened on 21 June 1992.
