Deadline to order Veterans Park bricks in time for Memorial Day is Feb. 21

posted on 2/19/2025

The Recreation Department will order another round of engraved bricks for Dover Veterans Park to be added for Memorial Day in May. The deadline to have bricks included in that order is Friday, Feb. 21, at 4 p.m.

Orders collected after the deadline through Aug. 15, 2025 will be sent in the next batch to be installed in the park by Veterans Day. The cost is $100 for an 8-inch by 8-inch brick and $50 for a 4-inch by 8-inch brick. The only requirement to have a name engraved is for the person to be a veteran – they do not have to live or be from Dover. All bricks are engraved with a full name, military rank and branch, and years of service and/or conflict. Upon request, bricks may also be grouped by family or service time.

Orders can be placed online at https://polarengraving.com/cityofdovernewhampshire. Contact the Recreation Department at 603-516-6401 with questions or help with ordering.

The Dover Veterans Park was dedicated on Veterans Day 2017. It now has more than 900 engraved bricks honoring veterans.
