This park is in the Kernohan neighbourhood and has an area of 3.03 ha. Like other neighbourhoods in the Clareview subdivision, Kernohan is named for an Edmonton pioneer. James Kernohan came west to the Edmonton area from Ontario in the early 1880s. In 1883, the shanty that Kernohan lived in the Belmont area burned down. Two years later, his wife, Mary Elizabeth, and their children joined him. He then moved to property owned by J. Rowland, and later owned some land on the Hudson's Bay Reserve. Kernohan, a farmer and a member of the Belmont School Board, also tried his hand at shopkeeping. Between July and September 1892, he owned part of W.A. Ibbotson & Kernohan, a store that sold fruits and vegetables, as well as ice cream. Mary Elizabeth Kernohan owned one of the first millinery shops in Edmonton. Her store was in operation between 1889 and 1891. Mary Elizabeth died in 1894. Their eldest son was an Edmonton postal worker in 1887; another son successfully reached the Klondike. In 1899, Kernohan moved to Leduc.
