On the tenth anniversary of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 a piece of the World Trade Center steel was dedicated in Moon Township’s memorial garden, joining memorials honoring military service members and public safety professionals. With this significant addition to its Memorial Garden, Moon Township launched a campaign to create a more welcoming place for community members to visit, reflect and remember.
Moon Township’s Memorial Garden is located between the Municipal and Public Safety buildings at 1000 Beaver Grade Road. The Memorial Garden features three eco-friendly rain gardens and a brick walkway circling a central flag and memorial site. Moon Township is looking for community support to build a brick walkway sectioned into dedicated areas for military service members, public safety professionals and community members.
A portion of the memorial garden (Zone 4 - Police) is temporarily unavailable due to surrounding construction. We are still accepting brick orders for this location, but there may be a delay in the installation time.
The Moon Park Memorial Garden is located in Moon Park (1350 Ewing Road). The original garden was situated next to the amphitheater and was relocated to the flag pole area near the amphitheater in 2021.
Help pave the Moon Township Memorial Garden walkway or the Moon Park Memorial Garden by purchasing a brick engraved with a lasting message for an individual, organization or business. Commemorative bricks are a meaningful way to remember a loved one, honor a friend or family member or recognize a milestone. Brick sponsorships are available for $65 for an engraved 4x8” brick or $200 for an 8x8” brick. Donations support the Moon Township Memorial Fund for continued development at these memorial spaces.
