In June of 2006 the Des Plaines Park District and Garden Club installed the Memorial Garden at Lake Park.  As part of the this project the Blue Star Marker was moved to the front of the garden for better visibility. The Garden Club of Des Plaines IL redesigned the planting pad and a bench was installed honoring the Des Plaines Garden Club's 75th anniversary

Memorial Day Services ~ Each year the officers and members participate in the Des Plaines Memorial Day Service held at Lake Park.  Honoring the history of Memorial Day,  a wreath is presented by our Garden Club honoring those members of the military who lost their life in service of their country.
