Erected by Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 178, this memorial is dedicated to Canada's war dead from the First and Second World Wars and the Korean War.

Memorial Provincial Park was originally the site of the University of Manitoba’s Faculty of Science. When the University amalgamated its campus in the Fort Garry location in the 1950s, this site was slated to become the home of the new city hall for Winnipeg. Noting the presence of a First World War cenotaph on the site, a number of Legion branches petitioned for the site to instead become a memorial park. In addition to the First World War cenotaph, the park would recognize the sacrifices made by Canadian Military personnel during the Second World War.

In 1961, the province, which already owned an adjacent parcel of land, acquired the site from the city. Former premier Duff Roblin envisioned Memorial Provincial Park as "a fitting tribute to those who gave their lives for Freedom”. The provincial park, including the City Hydro Fountain, is recognized as a Canadian military memorial. Memorial Park was dedicated on September 28, 1962 by Lieutenant Governor Errick Willis and Premier Duff Roblin.

Military memorials in the park include the Stephenson Monument ‘Intrepid’, Women’s Tri-Services Monument and Peacekeepers' Cairn. The Centennial Flame, British Commonwealth Air Training Plan Memorial – Airmen in Training, Cenotaph and flag poles are located outside the park on the Memorial Boulevard center median adjacent to the park.

The City Hydro Fountain is a landmark attraction within the park. The original water feature included a central mechanized fountain, which included sweeping waterscapes and light shows that alluded, in colour and movement, to the northern lights. In 2021, the fountain was reopened after being restored through 2019 - 2020 as part of the massive refurbishment project for Manitoba's 150 celebrations in 2020.

Peacekeeper Cairn was dedicated on 8 August 2004 to honour the nine Canadian Armed Forces members with the United Nations peace mission in Egypt who were killed on 9 August 1974 when their plane was shot down in a Syrian missile attack while making a routine supply run to the mission in the Golan Heights. National Peacekeepers’ Day is observed on the anniversary of this attack which is the greatest single-day loss of Canadian Armed Forces members on international peacekeeping duties.

Originally intended to be the granite rollers for a paper mill, these stone cylinders were repurposed into the cairn. It was designed and constructed by Larsen's Memorial and its total weight is approximately 33,000 pounds. The three pillars represent the strength of the Army, Navy, Air Force and most recently Royal Canadian Mounted Police. They also represent Canada's past, present and future.

All three pillars are beveled to 45 degrees at the top. Its center pillar is 12’ tall with the United Nations medal engraved into the top of the stone to represent all the United Nations missions and not one single medal. The left pillar is 10’ tall and engraved with the obverse side of the Canadian Peacekeeping Service Medal. The right pillar is 8’ tall and has the reverse side of the Canadian Peacekeeping Service Medal engraved on its top. 

The memorial was erected by the LGen RR Crabbe Chapter of the Canadian Association of Veterans in United Nations Peacekeeping and the land was donated by the province. Korean War Veteran Norm Van Tassel, President of the LGen RR Crabbe Chapter, and the inspiration behind the creation of the cairn, said the project took a little over two years to complete. It was funded by the City of Winnipeg, Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans associations, Royal Canadian Legion, War Amps of Canada, Jewish War Veterans Association, Portuguese War Veterans, other military groups and private citizens.

This plaque commemorates the world's first coloured circulation coin, The Poppy, November 2004. The coin was made to honour Canadian soldiers.

This area was dedicated on 5 November 2004. It honours the contributions of Cpl Leo Clark, Sgt-Major Frederick Hall and Lt. Robert Shankland, each awarded the Victoria Cross. The plaza was designed by landscape architect David Wagner. Pine Street was renamed Valour Road in their honour as well (see memorial # 46010-002)

This park, operated by the city of Winnipeg and filled with flower gardens, a pool and other memorials, is dedicated to the men and women who fought in the First and Second World Wars and Korean.

The Women's Tri-Service Monument was dedicated on July 4, 1976, in memory of the women that served or gave their lives in the First and Second World Wars. The 1.83m monument was created by sculptor Helen Granger Young and depicts three women standing back to back in Second World War era military dress. One woman wears the uniform of the Canadian Women's Army Corps, one wears the uniform of the Royal Canadian Air Force Women's Division, and one wears the uniform of the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service.

The monument was flown to Winnipeg from Alberta by a Canadian Forces Hercules transport aircraft in early June 1976. It was bronzed at Studio West foundry in Cochrane, Alberta. It was erected by the Women’s Tri-Service Association World War I and World War II Veterans of Winnipeg. The Memorial was later rededicated by Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II.

This memorial was erected by the XIIth Manitoba Dragoons Association in memory of all those who served with the XIIth Manitoba Dragoons, 18 Armoured Car Regiment, during the Second World War. Unveiled on 3 June 2000, the monument depicts, in addition to the inscription, the cap badge of the regiment, a Second World War image of an armoured car, a maple leaf and the symbol for the Royal Canadian Legion.

This park is dedicated to the Canadian Peacekeepers. It was dedicated by Ramon John Hnatyshyn, the Governor General of Canada on 24 October, 1992.

This memorial is dedicated to those who died with the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan in Canada. It was erected by the Wartime Pilots and Observers Association on Winnipeg on 9 September 1984. In September 1984, the 2.14m Monument "First Flight" was unveiled on the grounds of the Manitoba Legislature in Winnipeg. Near the Cenotaph, the statue was dedicated to all the Commonwealth and Allied Airmen trainees and instructors who died during training in Canada. The dedication ceremony was attended by Air Force officials and 5,000 service men from 16 countries and held in conjunction with the 60th anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force. Sculptor, Mrs. Young prepared the Airman Memorial for the sculpture that was at Artcast, in Georgetown, Ontario early in 1984. The sculpture was cast in silicon bronze and then finished by hand.
