Fun Facts

The Garden of Reflection was established to honor the 2,973 victims of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, making it the state's official memorial for the tragedy.

The memorial includes two fountains representing the Twin Towers, surrounded by a circular walkway symbolizing unity and hope.

The memorial was designed by Yardley-based architect Liuba Lashchyk to create a space for remembrance and healing.

The memorial was funded through community donations and fundraising efforts, reflecting the collective commitment to remembrance.

Each year, the garden serves as a gathering place for ceremonies on September 11th, bringing together families, survivors, and community members.

The memorial features the names of all the victims, including 18 from Bucks County, etched into glass panels.

The memorial is located within Memorial Park, which offers walking trails and spaces for quiet reflection.
