The beach and park are on the northwest side of Lake Jackson, on Lakeview Drive. The park is across the street from the Sebring Woman's Club. Displayed within this park is this memorial dedicated to those who have won the Purple Heart for injuries in combat. The red color helps the memorial stand out as one parks by the park. There was no dedication date listed and I was not able to find any information about it on the internet.
