Historical Information
This passive park is located east of the City Animal Shelter on NE 4 Street. The City's original Police Department and City Hall were located on the property. The park was redesigned as Bicentennial Park prior to the Bicentennial of the United States.
In 2008, the park was redesigned to accommodate several monuments dedicated to the armed services. A 20-ton, 12-foot tall monument to veterans was unveiled in June 2008. Local veterans organizations contributed to the monument including American Legion posts 164 and 288, Disabled American Veterans 152, Jewish War Veterans post 440, Korean War Veterans chapter 17, Veterans of Foreign War posts 5335 and 10150 and Sons of American Legion post 164. Small plaques were imbedded in the sidewalk that honors the service of individuals. There are also engraved paver bricks that can be purchased to honor individuals.
As part of the park renovation, lush landscaping was installed that acts as a backdrop to complement the monument area. Granite benches were also installed to form a contemplative area.
Since the renovation of the park, memorials to World War I and Pearl Harbor were installed in 2009. |
