The park located at 609 Richmond Street was named "John (Jack) Purdie Park" through Bylaw no. 2274, passed in 1992. Jack Purdie was recognized for his devotion to many minor sports teams in Amherstburg and 40 years of service to the Royal Canadian Legion. Part of this was as Zone Commander and District Chairman and 11 years as president. Purdie fought with the Essex Kent Scottish Regiment in WWII. He served as Town Councilor for eight (8) years and was Chairman of the Parks and Recreation Committee for four (4) years.
