    John Gibbs Memorial Park Island

    Nice Memorial park and garden area with some places to sit on the island in the middle of the one…read morestreet neighborhood on Farman Ct. the island is the right where Farman Court and Lazy Run road merge into each other. This started off as just an island that neighbors just took care of and maintenance. My folks have lived here for almost 30 years and the island has had several different looks and continues to grow. It has always been maintained by the neighborhood folks. A few years back a long time resident John Gibbs passed away and they took several of the stones and trees donated at his funeral and placed in the island. They named the area after him. Over the years unfortunately a few other neighbors and loved ones have passed on and there are favorite trees, garden items and funeral donations from them out in the island to pay homage to there lives. In the late spring and early summer the Creape Myrtle bush, the lace lead maple and double knockout rose bushes all bloom and its is a very pretty sight to see. This is in my parents neighborhood so I've had a helping hand quite a bit on this project/park. Recently I built a post and buried it to put up an officially memorial sign. My oldest daughters are gonna paint some rocks in honor here soon to place in the garden. Even though I haven't lived here in almost 15 years it still holds a special place for me and I'll probably continue to visit here and help maintain until my last days. On nice days you will see local residents sitting out in the garden on the cast iron seats in the center. There is a playground down the street down a big hill so a lot of people will walk it for exercise and come sit in the garden to catch a fresh breathe of air after walking back up the big steel hill. It's also a popular spot that parents wait for there kids to get on and off school buses at. All in all this a beautiful sentiment and super cool and unique place. This past winter I helped my folks put Christmas lights in there and it turned out really nice. I think it is something we will continue to do. Some other neighbors and My parents Have got some pretty cool ideas in the near feature they want to implement so that the memorial park island remains upkept and keeps growing and honoring there fallen neighbors.

    This is a very nice memorial and Park Island that is tribute for someone that passed away in 2016…read more The family in the neighborhood have really kept this park looking nice clean I have added many colorful designs and items to make the park really stand out. It's a very nice place and I am happy that the neighborhood is really taking care of it and making it even nicer
