The dedication of Memory Park took place on March 30, 1994, inspired by a Happy Trails resident’s wish to create a lasting and public way to remember her husband. The concept of the park was to designate a permanent area where cacti and other desert plants could be planted, nurtured, and enjoyed by all.
Over the years, Memory Park has become a cherished place to honor deceased residents of Happy Trails — a peaceful setting where friends and neighbors can reflect, remember, and celebrate the lives of those who have been part of our community. Each plant and marker stands as a living tribute, symbolizing the love and memories that continue to grow within Happy Trails.
