Charleswood Memorial Park - The Burn

Charleswood Memorial Park sits along the south side of Roblin Blvd at Berkley St. Part of the Beaverdam Creek Greenway, this greenspace was given the name "The Burn" as a tribute to Johanna Burns, a city planner who helped to preserve the area surrounding the creek as a park-like retreat. Nestled up next to a forested area, a World War I and II cenotaph stands near the east end of the park.
