Garden

The Children's Remembrance Gardenwalk is a  fitting tribute and an enduring memorial for the children loved and lost in our community. It provides a place of healing, support, compassion and hope for family members, friends, and the community who have experienced the death of a child of any age.

Located in front of City Hall (216 Payne Ave) as you enter the site down the beautiful path lined with block pavers, you will find yourself under the pure white pergola adorned with the memory of loved ones lost too early, with their names fixed to the pergola on bronze plaques.

As you wind around the path passed the pergola, you'll be led to a serene and beautiful spot with a sculpture the focal point of a central garden bed.  Surrounding the central garden there are four swinging benches serving as resting spots to sit and remember your loved ones.

Surrounding the peaceful seating area is a space adorned with trees, shrubs and flowers creating a four seasons garden walk to truly encapsulate the beauty and serenity of this site.  On the periphery of the circular garden there are four memorial benches serving as additional resting and reflecting spots overlooking the garden from the outside-in.
