McBurney Park in Kingston, also unofficially called
Skeleton Park by locals. (The surrounding neighbourhood is named for the park, and most locals use the term 'McBurney Park' to refer to the neighbourhood, 'Skeleton Park' to refer to the park itself).

McBurney Park was established in the 1890s.. on top of a former cemetery. About 10,000 bodies were buried here from about 1810 to about 1860. This part of Kingston was home to most of Kingston's lower-class industrial workforce and it had no parks, so in the late 19th century, a big demand from Kingston's labour activists was the establishment of a park for the neighbourhood. The city listened and converted the cemetery to a park. This is where it gets its nickname, Skeleton Park.
The vegetation here is very lush, there's many trees and flowers that grow wonderfully and the grass is very green.... because the soil is very well fertilized by the decomposing human remains.
