Located at Mitch Park, N Side of Covell Between Santa Fe & Kelly
1501 W Covell Rd, Edmond, OK, USA
Architect Duane Mass’s “OKC Bombing Memorial for Edmond Victims” is one of the most important installations in the city of Edmond. Located in a quiet area of Mitch Park off of the trails, it honors the Edmond citizens who lost their lives in the bombing of the Murrah Building on April 19, 1995. Diane E. Althouse, Paul Broxterman, Robert Chipman, Benjamin Davis, Carrol Fields, Ethel L. Griffin, Christi Jenkins, Donald Ray Leonard, James A. McCarthy, Kenneth McCullough, Pat Nix, Antonio (Tony) Reyes, Jules Valdez, Johnny Wade, David Jack Walker, Michael Weaver, Alan G. Whicher, and Ronota Ann Woodbridge were 18 of the 168 Oklahomans who passed away on this day. This monument helps us never forget these cherished members of the Edmond community. After the events of the bombing, the community showed their support for the family members of the victims and turned a dark time into a moment of hope, unity, and strength.
