Glen Cove Beautifies Monument Park

A Glen Cove monument that honors the veteran community was the recent recipient of a makeover.

The City’s Department of Public Works kicked off a restoration effort to address the many maintenance needs of Monument Park.

The DPW installed a new irrigation system and added new greenery—including shrubs, flowers and mulch—in all the flower beds.

“In June and July, the department pressure washed the monument and coordinated additional beautification needs,” DPW Supervisor Manny Grella said in a press release.

Monument park is located at the corner of North and School Streets and serves as the spot for many ceremonial activities that recognize past, present and future veterans.

The City encourages residents to visit the park to see the restoration work while remembering those who have served and fallen.
