Memory Grove, Urban park in The Avenues, Salt Lake City, United States.

Memory Grove is a war-memorial park at the mouth of City Creek Canyon, north of downtown Salt Lake City. City Creek runs through the grounds, crossed by a stone footbridge and the 1927 Kiwanis Club bridge, with the Capitol Hill steps climbing the slope. Monuments line the canyon floor, among them the 145th Field Artillery Monument, a German cannon, a Liberty Bell replica and Meditation Chapel.

In 1920 the Utah chapter of the Service Star Legion formed the Memory Grove Committee and petitioned for 30 acres at the mouth of City Creek Canyon; the city granted the southernmost 20 acres. Volunteers cleared the site and planted 300 trees, and the park opened on June 27, 1924 as a memorial to Utah's war dead. A German cannon arrived in 1926, the 145th Field Artillery Monument in 1927, and Meditation Chapel was dedicated in 1948 before about 10,000 people.

The park functions as a refuge for locals who walk, rest, and spend time outdoors in different seasons. Its pathways and water features give visitors places to pause and connect with the landscape around them.

The park sits at the mouth of City Creek Canyon, north of downtown off Bonneville Boulevard, and the Capitol Hill steps connect it upward toward the Capitol. The Freedom Trail hiking path, dedicated in 1984, continues from the grove into the canyon. Memorial House, a former stable rededicated in 1926, now serves as a meeting and event space.

The Meditation Chapel, completed in 1948, was funded by Ross and Elvera Beason as a World War II memorial. About 10,000 people attended its dedication on July 25, 1948, the park's most attended event as of 2008. Gold Star Mother Gunda Borgstrom was the first to enter the chapel.
