This memorial to well known radio personality and civic booster Patrick Nicol was mounted in Polson Park in 2014. Well liked where ever he went, Patrick worked at several radio stations before finally landing in Vernon. Patrick left behind a host of friends and admirers, as can be seen by reading the comments at His Obituary.
Patrick's memorial can be found just west of the running track near the north centre of the park.
