Established in 1951, this cemetery is owned and managed by the RM of Harrison Park.

It is a neat well-kept cemetery with all flat stones facing east.

It is not to be confused with the former Oldale (aka Newdale) Cemetery south of the town site.

In the spring of 1950, the council bought five acres (2.0 hectares) of land from Stanley Petrynychyn and fenced three acres to form a cemetery. The other two acres were to be used at a later date if needed.

The original board were: J.H. Coutts, C. Lamb and T. Rose for three years. Mrs. R. Westaway, J. Wyton and Ed Dalke for two years, and J.L. Young, Mrs. D. Dalgarno, and R. Mason for a time.

The secretaries have been: R. Mason, J. Wyton and B. Hawes. At the present time, the secretary is George Wareham and the president is N. Kingdon. (1970)

As noted above, a part of the town's story and those of its inhabitants from the early days of European settlement through roughly 1970 is told in the volume "Newdale, 1870-1970". A free digital version of this and many other Manitoba local history books can be found online in the University of Manitoba Digital Collections. There is also a list of such books organized by district and town name on the Manitoba Historical Society's website on their page entitled "Finding Aid: Manitoba Local History Books".

A list of burials in this cemetery is available from the Manitoba Genealogical Society (reference #0860), transcribed by a member or members in 1994. Also available to MGS members is a searchable online database named the "MGS Manitoba Name Index" (or MANI). Some additional information is contained in the 1996 MGS publication "Carved in Stone: Manitoba Cemeteries and Burial Sites" (revised edition, Special Projects Publication, 106 pages).
