Memorial Park
 Memorial Park
provides residents of Farmington Hills with a place to honor and
recognize friends and family members who have passed away.
Located at the corner of Eleven Mile and Middlebelt
Roads, Memorial Park’s primary purpose is to provide residents with a
place for peaceful reflection. Throughout the past several years,
Memorial Park has been completely refurbished with new landscaping,
sidewalks, and a granite memorial, all of which add to the natural
beauty of the setting.
Along the Memorial Park pathway, specially paved
areas feature bricks available for purchase as a memorial. With a
donation of $100, individuals or groups may purchase a brick to be
inscribed with the name or commemorative message of their choice.
(Please note that the individual being memorialized or the person
purchasing the brick must be a current or former Farmington Hills
resident.)
In addition to brick pavers, other items available
for purchase at Memorial Park include trees, benches, and birdhouses to
be placed throughout the park.
The Farmington Hills City Council approved a
recommended price list for items in Memorial Park. The approved

up the park in future years. Costs associated with purchasing an
item also go into the delivery, placement, and upkeep of the item in
perpetuity. Included in the purchase of benches, trees, and
birdhouses is the cost of inscribing the name of the honoree on the
granite memorial rock and on a plaque at the site of each installation.
