William Dillon Otter was born at Clinton, Ontario on 3 Dec 1843. He was a Veteran of the Battle of Ridgeway in 1866 and joined the permanent force in 1883. He commanded the Battleford column in the Northwest Resistance and was the first commanding officer of the Royal Canadian Regiment of Infantry in 1893.

In 1899, Otter led the first Canadian contingent in the South African War. In 1908, he was the first Canadian-born chief of the general staff and was inspector general of the Canadian Militia 1910-12, when he retired. He commanded internment operations during the First World War. Otter was knighted in 1913 and in 1922 became the second Canadian soldier, after Sir Arthur Currie, to reach the rank of general.

Within the park are several rifle pits that were fixed up to show defensive positions taken during the Northwest Resistance.

The Waseca War Memorial was built by stone mason, John Evans in 1930. It was originally constructed in memory of those who lost their lives in the First World War. Many years later the dedication was extended to those who paid the Supreme Sacrifice in the Second World War. The Waseca Branch of the Great War Veterans' Association was formed on February 14, 1920. The first recorded activity was to build a Memorial Hall dedicated to the memory of those who lost their lives in the First World War. The official opening was held on November 19, 1921. As Veterans aged they realized that management of the Hall would have to be taken over by a board elected from members of the public. The Hall was sold to the community for one dollar with the stipulation that the word Memorial would be included in the name of the Hall forever. The Veterans felt that a lasting Memorial would have to be erected, so John Evans was hired to build a Cairn. This Memorial was dedicated on November 11th, 1932. . Following the Second World War, the Cairn was rededicated with a second inscription added. The Waseca Legion disbanded in the early 1990's but until that time Remembrance Day Service was held on November 11th each year with a dedication and wreath's laid at the Cairn. A wreath is still laid at the Cairn each November 11th.
