How "MEMORY PARK" was named

In October of 2005, when this journey began, in committee we called this project "The Memory Garden". As it grew, the working name became "Memory Park". Many people in the community submitted thoughtful suggestions for the permanent name. All were reviewed, but the major donors were all in consensus that the park should not be named for any one person or group, but rather areas of the park would be named for honorees. Over time, the simple Memory Park just seemed to be the right choice. Several people submitted Memory Park as their name of choice, and we will honor them with pavers in the park.
