First Responders Park

First Responders Park in Old Hilliard serves as a somber gathering place to remember the sacrifices made on 9/11 and beyond. Hilliard’s unique First Responders Park is one of the largest 9/11 memorials of its kind. It’s also among the first to be given relics of that tragic day – two twisted pieces of steel from the World Trade Center. The park also features a pergola designed to resemble the façade of Twin Towers, a sculpture of an eternal flame and huge granite blocks listing the names of everyone who perished on 9/11.  In addition to serving as a memorial to 9/11, First Responders Park also pays tribute to all police and fire personnel who put themselves in harm’s way on a daily basis to protect ordinary citizens.
