Edgemont Memorial Park, Public park in Montclair, United States
Edgemont Memorial Park is a public park spanning 6.3 hectares with open green areas, trees, walking paths, sports fields, and playgrounds throughout the grounds. A man-made pond with a central island and a war memorial are the main features that shape the landscape.
The park was established in 1906 following a community initiative that transformed the former golf course into public green space. A war memorial was added in 1924, becoming a defining feature of the site.
The memorial to fallen soldiers from World War I stands as a focal point where the community gathers to remember and honor those who served. The monument's presence shapes how visitors experience and understand the park's deeper purpose beyond recreation.
The park is easily navigable with clearly marked walking and biking paths for different activity levels and interests. Seasonal activities like ice skating are available during winter months, while sports fields and playgrounds operate year-round.
The pond is fed by Toney's Brook and its central island serves as the base for the memorial obelisk topped with Winged Victory sculptures. This unusual combination of water feature and memorial creates an uncommon focal point within the park's landscape.
