At the time of the opening of the gardens there was two inscribed memorial panels on the pillars of the entrance gates. The inscription on one of them read "Borough of Accrington. This garden was formed by the Corporation of Accrington, on the site of the house previously known as "Dyke Nook" with substantial financial assistance from Messrs. R W KENYON, W H KENYON and Miss MARION KENYON in remembrance of their sisters, Mrs JONATHAN BARNES who lived at Dyke Nook for many years and Miss S L KENYON, who served as a Magistrate for a considerable period". The other tablet was inscribed to the effect that the garden was opened by the Mayor.
