Near the northern apex of Queen's Park is the 48th Highlanders Regimental Memorial, erected in 1923. The memorial was designed by two architects, Eric Haldenby and Alwan Mathers and features a high white granite shaft, with four niches at its top and an open dome as its capstone. The north side of the monument features an inscription that reads "swords of sacrifice" on the monument's bas-relief, with a list of engagements that the regiment was involved in during the Second Boer War listed below the inscription. Regimental battle honours from the First World War are also listed on the monument's east and west face; whereas the unit's battle honours from the Second World War are inscribed on the monument's south face.
