Memorial Park WWI Memorial

Capture

Project Status: Post Construction

Project Overview:

A WWI Memorial, consisting of small plaques by trees, has existed at Memorial Park for over 90 years. Over time, many of these plaques have been damaged, destroyed or are now missing. Multiple master plans have been conducted on the park over the past 7 years, and each has called for a new WWI memorial. Although a new park master plan is forthcoming, past citizen comments have been clear that a new WWI memorial should be a component of the park. In 2018, the City initiated a planning process and invited the public to provide ideas and weigh in on concepts and themes for the new memorial.
