The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department's Feature Friday

Each Friday, The Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department features something new for residents and visitors to learn more about. This week, were want to tell you about our Memorial Brick Program!

The Village of Greenville is proud to offer you an opportunity to honor those you love! Whether it’s those who have served or are currently serving our country or community, yourself, or a loved one that you would like to memorialize, you can purchase a brick to “set it in stone.” Some choose to memorialize a friend or grandparent while others want to memorialize an accomplishment like their business or special date. Memorial Bricks for service members are often inscribed with an honorees name along with their dates of service, branch, rank, insignia and/or war served in. A mini keepsake brick that replicates the original brick is also available.

Brick placement is available in two locations: The Heritage Fountain brick plaza at Jennerjohn Park and the Memorial Square pathway next to the new Municipal Service Complex. While the Heritage Fountain placement is open to anyone, out Memorial Square is only available to Veterans and Fire/EMS personnel. The bricks in the Memorial Square walkway are mapped here: https://bit.ly/3fg3gpe
