This playground was dedicated to the memory of Corporal Anthony Boneca. He was a member of the Lake Superior Scottish Regiment who was killed on 9 July 2006, while assaulting a defended compound in the Panjwai District of Kandahar Province, Afghanistan, as part of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry Battle Group.

With the permission from Anthony Boneca's parents, the Edgewater Park School Council in Thunder Bay constructed and opened a new playground in honor of Corporal Anthony Boneca. The playground was opened on 2 June 2007 and sponsored by the “Let Them Be Kids” organization. Anthony's home regiment, the Lake Superior Scottish Regiment, was on hand to assist and open the park with a piper.
