These three tennis courts were created as a living memorial to honour the 51 former students of Burnaby South High School who lost their lives in the Second World War. The courts and a cenotaph were dedicated on the school grounds on November 10, 1948, by the South Burnaby Royal Canadian Legion Branch 83 and students of the school.
The Burnaby South High School land was obtained by the city in 1989 and named Burnaby South Memorial Park on November 3, 1993.
