A memorial wall for
transgender people is located within the park, near the Toronto AIDS memorial. It was originally created as a temporary chalk memorial by local
trans women on July 10, 2014. Inspired by the recent passing of a trans community member, the memorial was envisioned as a place where trans people and their lived names could be honoured and remembered. Shortly after the installation of the trans memorial, and in preparation for the official renaming ceremony, clean-up crews removed the memorial from the wall.

Kristyn Wong-Tam apologized for the removal, and the memorial was immediately restored. Following the official ceremony,
Barbara Hall, a human rights advocate and long-time ally of trans people met with community members to pay her respects. Since then, despite a subsequent erasure and restoration of the memorial in 2017, the park has acted as a community hub for vigils,
Trans Day of Remembrance events, and a focal point for trans advocacy. ==Redesign==
