Pioneer Memorial Park Manor Drive Historically significant for the
Town of Comox, Pioneer Memorial Park was originally the site of St.
John the Baptist’s Catholic Cemetery, and many of the first
pioneer settlers were interred here. In 1975, the grounds of the
cemetery were ploughed and leveled, and the land turned over to the
Town of Comox. In 1980, the town created a park on this site. The
centerpiece of the park is a memorial cairn containing many of the
recovered headstones of those buried in the grounds. In 2002, the
Knights of Columbus created a comprehensive list of the people
buried here; this list is displayed at the head of the park on an
informative sign. The Knights of Columbus and the Town of Comox
maintain the park and its amenities. Due to the dramatic ocean,
glacier and mountain views afforded by the park’s position,
Pioneer Park has become increasingly popular for weddings, picnics
and gatherings. It offers a peaceful refuge within walking distance
of the hospital, and remains a little known gem on the Comox
Peninsula. (from the Comox Heritage Brochure)
