Memorial Bricks at Veterans Park

Memorial Bricks at Veterans Park or Wall Engraving

On November 11, 2006, the City of Oldsmar officially dedicated Veterans Memorial Park in honor of all veterans of the armed services. The city is in the process of developing the park amenities, and you can be a part of this occasion.

Commemorative Bricks

You are invited to purchase a commemorative brick that will be permanently installed at Veterans Memorial Park in the memorial plaza and walks. This commemorative brick campaign provides an opportunity to become a part of the City of Oldsmar's legacy. All proceeds from the sale will be utilized for Veterans Memorial Park improvements.

The bricks are high quality and guaranteed to last a life time. Personalized bricks are a great way to recognize veterans, children, grandchildren, special events, or as a lasting memorial to someone.

Details

Each 4-by-8-inch brick will have 3 lines with up to 20 characters per line. The cost of each brick is $100. This will be an ongoing campaign. To purchase a brick, contact Caren Beil at (813) 749-1267.

special event parking

During designated Special Events hosted at R.E. Olds Park, the City of Oldsmar will permit street parking in the CLOSED BICYCLE LANES along Bayview Blvd. and Park Blvd. As bicycles are legal vehicles in Florida, riders can use the motor vehicle travel lane or sidewalks.

REMINDERS:

Do NOT block driveways
Only use the closed bicycle lanes as indicated
If someone not authorized by you is parking on your PRIVATE property, please contact the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office directly at (727) 582-6200 to report the incident.

Please remember that parking in the medians is ILLEGAL along Shore Drive per Florida Statute 316.1945.

Parking on medians is not permitted due to the following:

The medians were not designed or intended to serve parking.
There is no access from a parked car in the median to a sidewalk that takes pedestrians to the intersection for a safe crossing.
There is diminished visibility for both pedestrians and drivers because of the parked cars and roadway environment.
There is not adequate lighting (because medians were not made to be a parking lot).
During special events, the driver is often focused on other factors (such as finding parking), and pedestrians are eager to get to the event (especially children).
