Britannia Park was built by students from Regina Public School, Pinecrest Public School, and Dr. F.J. McDonald Catholic School under the supervision of artist Karl Ciesluk. It was unveiled in 2013, and is dedicated to the men and women who served their country in wartime. The park is an octagonal-shaped enclosure, bordered by eight low concrete walls, six of which have mosaics showing poppies. The entrance is flanked by two commemorative plaques.

Sang rouge
Pour toi, nous avons combattu.
En toi, nous avons cru.
Aujourd’hui nous reposons
Dans cette terre où tu as coulé,
où poussent maintenant
des coquelicots rouge sang.
