On the north side of Veterans Memorial Park, near a flag plaza and a Soldier's memorial is a circular brick and concrete sitting bench approximately nine feet in diameter. The benches are supported by walls of brick, with approximately 200 of them donated and engraved with the names of local citizens and groups. The City of Moore website describes the effort as follws:
A committee was formed to plan the second phase of the Moore Veterans Memorial. A campaign to sell bricks to be placed in the memorial was completed in early 2009. The response from the community was fantastic. Over 190 bricks were purchased by supporters from the community and surrounding areas. The bricks were placed in the Memorial wall/sitting area in late May. A cast stone bench caps the wall. The purchase of a brick supported the phase II portion of the Moore Veterans Memorial.
This bench, and the nearby wood carvings and war memorials is well worth a trip to this park.
