There is a walkway in Ballina named for her which is called the "Kerry Saxby Walkway" which runs from Captain Cook Park to the end of North Wall.[6] In January 2021 Saxby-Junna was further honoured with an interpretive signage display, which serves as a rest stop on this walkway, this display is over two metres high and details her athletic achievements. Saxby-Junna was there for the unvieling by Ballina Mayor David Wright and it sits on the river bank near the Ballina War Memorial Pool.[7]
