Burrard is well known as being the site of the first days of the Battle of Burrard, which was mostly contested on the adjacent Burrard Peninsula now home to Sahalee, Kirktown and Fraser. Immediately east of the city's downtown, on the water, is the Burrard National Memorial, a 20-acre city park and home to two museums commemorating the battle, an obelisk and "Wall of Reflection" bearing the names of those killed, with the obelisk serving as the centerpiece "Tomb of the Unknown Soldier."
