Town of Clay Memorial Park

The Town of Clay Town Board held an official ribbon cutting of its new Memorial Park, located at the main Town Hall on Monday, May 26, 2025.

This meaningful addition to the community was made possible through a grant from the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York (DASNY) which offers a serene space to reflect and remember cherished loved ones. At its heart stands a powerful monument dedicated to the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks, honoring the lives lost, including military personnel, firefighters, police officers, rescue teams, and all those who heroically contributed to the rescue efforts on that tragic day.

We hope you'll stop by and visit this special area and stroll through the commemorative brick pathway. Personalized bricks may be purchased for $50, offering a lasting tribute to your loved one as part of this living memorial.

To order a brick, please contact the Supervisor’s Office to request a Brick Order Form by emailing supervisor@townofclay.org. Or fill out the form below and submit to the Supervisor's Office.
