Victoria Memorial Square is a park and former cemetery in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Established in 1793[1] as the burial place for those affiliated with the nearby Toronto Garrison (Fort York).
Originally known as St. John's Square, the park today is part of Fort York National Historic Site, and the site of a monument to the War of 1812 sculpted by Walter Seymour Allward and completed in 1902.
[2] It served as the military cemetery for Toronto until 1863 and saw some 400 burials, including a number of victims of the War of 1812.
Led by the Wellington Place Neighbourhood Association and Toronto Councillor Adam Vaughan, restoration included regrading, and elements such as lighting, pathways, street furniture, trees and other plantings, and a playground.
