VETERANS MEMORIAL EXPANDS TO HELP CITIZENS ALWAYS REMEMBER Olde City Park is home to Wylie’s Veterans Memorial. In the spring of 2019 cosmetic upgrades were made to the Veterans Memorial including three new flag poles that stand proudly over the park. These were made possible due to a $7,000 donation from the American Legion Hale-Combest Post 315 Wylie, Texas. In addition, the Parks and Recreation Department funded the construction of two concrete pads to host new memorial stones. The wall behind the memorial was expanded to match the growing monument. A low barrier now surrounds and protects the memorial stones, and beautiful flowerbeds decorate the center of the Memorial. A second bench now stands with the first for those who want to sit and reflect on the sacrifices of so many brave Americans. Next time you’re at Olde City Park enjoying the playground, hosting a birthday party, or simply taking a stroll along the walking trail, take a minute to honor those who have served our country so bravely. The American Legion Hale-Combest Post 315 Wylie, Texas manages the memorial and ordering of pave stone requests. Contact Parks@WylieRecreation or 972-516-6340 for more information.
