Memory Park
The dedication of MEMORY PARK occurred on March 30, 1994 because of a Happy Trails resident’s desire to find a way to permanently and publicly remember her husband. The concept of the park was to designate a permanent area where cacti and other desert plants could be planted and enjoyed. It would be a place where no religious symbols or names of deceased or donors would be displayed, but rather a place of quiet beauty showing dignity and respect for our friends and loved ones.
