I spotted this park after making a trip to the local cable co. After visiting the park I decided I needed to post it for others to share. There is a playground nearby for the children while the adults take time to examine the memorial.
There are granite blocks standing vertically, one for each service with photos engraved on the reverse. Memorial bricks purchased by the public have been laid around the perimeter. At the entrance is a large stone with plaques listing area residents that lost their lives during the civil war.
