Centerton Veteran's Memorial Park is dedicated to the men and women who have
served our country valiantly over the years in our armed forces.

The Centerton City Council at their August 11, 2009, meeting authorized $12,500
for Phase 1 of the Centerton Veterans Memorial Park construction. Funds for the
project come from the Advertising & Promotion Commission which collects 1%
tax on all prepared foods sold within the City. The Commission has designated
that 90% of the money collected will go to Centerton City Parks. Phase 1 of the
Veteran's Memorial Park project will include electrical work to be done on the
site, begin planting trees and shrubs and taking donations for the Pavers.
The new Park will be built by volunteer labor whenever possible.
The Park will be located in back of the City Hall, just across the drive
from the children’s swings.

The concept for Veterans Memorial Park came from the Parks & Recreation
Committee. That Committee consists of Chairman and City Council member
Patricia Thornhill, City Council member Josie Reed, City Clerk Todd Wright,
former Council Alderman Bill Edwards, General Manager of Centerton Arvest
Bank Luke Colley, owner of Arbor Realty Beverly Usher, Centerton resident Julie
Uhrig, Lifepoint Baptist Church Pastor Mike Brinson, City Attorney Brian Rabal
and Centerton Mayor Bobbie Griffith.

"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to
see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds,
to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow, and his orphans, to
do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and
with all nations." Abraham Lincoln
