This park is in the York neighbourhood and has an area of 1.95 ha. The York neighbourhood was named for Annie A. York Secord. Annie York was born in Ontario and came west to Alberta (then the North-West Territories) in 1889 to teach school at Poplar Lake and Namao. In 1891, she resigned from teaching to marry Richard Secord, an Edmonton businessman and later a member of the North-West Assembly from 1902 to 1904. Annie York Secord died in 1950.
