Yardley is home to the Official Pennsylvania Memorial to the Victims of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, created to remember and honor the community's loved ones and all 2,973 killed on September 11, 2001. It is situated in Memorial Park amid the natural beauty of Historical Bucks County farmland in Lower Makefield Township.
The Memorial designed by Yardley architect Liuba Lashchyk AIA invites guests on a walking Memorial Journey symbolizing “After Darkness…Light”. This Memorial Journey leads from sorrowful reminders of tragedy and grief towards luminous symbols of Hope, Peace and Celebration of Life.
2015 marks the the 14th Anniversary of 9/11 attacks. To commemorate, the park will host their 12th annual 5k on Sepember 13th. The 5K Run/Walk raises money for the endowment to preserve the memorial for future generations.
In addition to the 5k, the Garden of Reflection will host a Candlelight Vigil on September 10th at 7:30pm and a Honor and Remembrance Ceremony on September 11, 2015 at 8:30AM, a solemn morning ceremony marking the chronological events with prayer, music and readings.
