The park was named in memory of the late J. Albert Walker, a Canadian businessman and politician from Halifax County, Nova Scotia. He was elected to City Council in 1974 as Alderman and again in 1984. The city council then elected him to be deputy mayor.[1] Walker retired in 1988, delivering a short farewell speech in council on October 27, 1988.[2]
