Memorial Park Gala — Celebrating 100 Years of Olmstead Brothers in Jacksonville

Memorial Park Association celebrated the kickoff of Memorial Park’s Centennial Anniversary with a gala at Timuquana Country Club on Saturday, Jan. 20. The evening of celebration, live music, dinner and drinks reflected on the history of Memorial Park and raised money to preserve and protect the park for generations.

The Olmstead Brothers-designed Memorial Park was officially dedicated on Christmas Day in 1924 in honor of the more than 1,220 Floridians who died in the first World War. The park is home to Florida’s World War One Memorial, the iconic Spiritualized Life sculpture and 100 years of Jacksonville residents’ memories.
