To maintain the ambiance of downtown Arlington Heights, paving bricks are used for the walkways through North School Park and Memorial Park. Residents and businesses of Arlington Heights have contributed by purchasing engraved bricks which are placed in the walkways. The Buy-A-Brick program gives people the opportunity to show family names, propose marriage, honor a loved one, and celebrate anniversaries, among other things.
Memorial orders are accepted throughout the year however, installations take place in spring and fall so orders must be placed by March 1 and August 1 respectively. Actual install date is dependent upon the weather. Due to the paving pattern, bricks can only be grouped in pairs. All donations are tax deductible.
If you have any questions, please call the Park District at 847-577-3000 and ask for the Memorial Donation Program staff.
