McBurney Park

McBurney Park, located in the Inner Harbour neighbourhood of Kingston, is a licensed cemetery site often referred to as Skeleton Park. The site is a part of the Upper Burial Ground, which was closed to further burials in 1864. The cemetery lands have been used as a park since the 1890’s. As there may be burials near the surface, the project works have been carefully reviewed by a licensed archaeologist and provincial regulators to ensure there will not be impacts to the cemetery.
