Here in a garden in the Sunnyside Bathing Pavilion is a 1989 Toronto Parks & Recreation Plaque which says:
This garden, designed by Stephen in 1984, reflects the same sensitivity & attention to detail which he brought to the design of several other major parks in Toronto including St. James' Park, Berczy Park and Asquith Green. His creative abilities as a landscape architect, artist and horticulturist were appreciated; his love of life will be missed. His friends in the department of Parks & Recreation placed this plaque in fond remembrance.
