Welcome to the Memory Garden

The Memory Garden was a new project which began in 1999 and was developed to enhance Pinafore Park in St. Thomas, Ontario and it continues to grow as a reminder of our past and a celebration of our future. Located near Lake Pinafore natural stone archways serve as strong entry points welcoming visitors into the memorial garden while providing a place to display engraved bronze leaves acknowledging dedications on Donor, Recognition and Memory Trees.

The Memory Garden is located to the left as you enter Pinafore Park, a park rich with an historical past, century pavilions, towering trees, a small lake and magnificent flower displays and these are just a few of the amenities that attract thousands of visitors each year.

Since the park's development in 1898 by the St. Thomas Street Railway, Pinafore has undergone many changes, while continuing to serve the needs of the community. Pinafore's past once included a golf course, boat races and train rides. Pinafore Park has also represented many events and experiences to many generations.
