Memorial Park opened in 1976 along Centennial Boulevard at Grove Road as a bicentennial year project. During 2021, the park received new landscaping, flag poles and stonework, as well as new plaques to recognize Richardson residents who have died while serving their country.

The park features plaques with the names of the 23 Richardson residents who died while fighting for their country during wartime, as well as five additional residents who died while in service to their country.

The centerpiece of the park is a large, black granite stone that features the seals of the United States Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force and Coast Guard, as well as the following inscription: In memoriam to their ultimate sacrifice. They did not die in vain. To the honor and glory of all those who unselfishly gave of themselves in the service of their country for the cause of freedom.

Memorial Park is a small park located at 555 Centennial Blvd. near Grove Road. Memorial Park was created as a memorial to Armed Forces personnel.
