In 1921 Professor W.S. Blair and Mr. G.C. Roy brought forward the idea for a public park to be added in Kentville. The city purchased a property on Park Street and the Memorial Park Commission was formed.

Between 1922 and 1924 an athletic field, ball field, grandstand, and playground were added.

On October 18, 1954 a war memorial cenotaph was unveiled.

By 1960 a swimming pool was added.

Today the park is a focal point in the community serving for recreational activities as well as a constant reminder of remembrance.

This memorial is dedicated to Lieutenant Harold Lothrop Borden who was killed in action during the South African War. On one side of the base is a granite water fountain filled from the mouth of a cast bronze lion's head above it. On the other side is a horse trough filled with flowers. The sculptor was Hamilton MacCarthy. The Henry-Bonnard Bronze Company was a prominent New York City art foundry. It operated under the name E. Henry & Bonnard from 1872 to 1881 and as The Henry-Bonnard Bronze Company from 1882 to 1926.

Hamilton P. MacCarthy was born on 28 July 1846 in London, England. He studied with his father, sculptor Hamilton Wright McCarthy and at the Royal Academy Schools. MacCarthy moved to Toronto, Ontario, in 1885. Thirteen years later he moved to Ottawa and studied at the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. MacCarthy had 15 children and his son Coeur de Lion MacCarthy was a sculptor who produced numerous commemorative works after the First World War.

Other memorials by Hamilton MacCarthy include: South African War Memorial in Nova Scotia; Soldiers Monument in Prince Edward Island; South African War Memorial and General Isaac Brock Monument in Ontario.

This memorial is dedicated to the local war dead of the First and Second World Wars. The Cenotaph was paid for by the Federal Government and shipped by train to Aylesford N.S. It was then moved by horse and wagon to its present location in sections. The parents and friends of First World War Veterans Killed overseas build the base and assembled it. This Cenotaph is over 10 ft. in height and requires a strong base, (which is in poor condition). The names of those from the community of Morristown who gave their lives in action during the First and Second World Wars are engraved on this stone.
