Memorial Island in Lafayette, IN is a solemn and poignant tribute to the courageous men and women from Tippecanoe County who made the ultimate sacrifice defending our country. Established in 1949 through the collaborative efforts of local patriotic and military organizations, this memorial serves as a permanent reminder of the price paid for our precious freedom.
With ongoing improvements and additions, Memorial Island has evolved into a serene and picturesque destination. The completion of Phase III in 2021 brought new features such as a stage with a state-of-the-art sound system, ADA accessibility throughout the project area, and the return of pedal boats to the lagoon. Visitors can also enjoy the scenic boardwalk, adult swings, and ADA fishing nodes, while the addition of geyser-style fountains and improved water quality in the lagoon enhance the overall ambiance.
