The Walker Memorial, which marks one end of Lane Park, is a memorial dedicated to the late Lanerian President Abraham Walker. The memorial was dedicated in 1912 and has since become one of the most popular tourist attractions in Worthington.

The Memorial is a Neoclassical structure reminiscent of an ancient Hipolitan temple. Inside is a large statue of Walker and inscriptions from some of his most widely known public addresses. The Memorial has been the site of a large number of noteworthy speeches, including Rev. Martin Ingram's famous speech calling on the federal government to guarantee the equal protection of law to all citizens.

As a part of Lane Park, the Walker Memorial is maintained and cared for by the Lanerian National Park Service. The Memorial is officially considered a landmark by Worthington, Laneria and the Commonwealth of Peoples.
