King George Park
A largely neglected, and overlooked, commemorative plaque installed in 1937, as part of the park’s inauguration. It is located south of the extant five Oak trees.
King George Park
One of six Oak trees planted in 1937 as part of Westmount’s coronation celebrations for King George VI. These are north of the tennis courts – for some reason, I could only find five still growing.
