Edgemont Memorial Park is a large children’s playground with an array of structures that provide hours of entertainment for children of all ages. A rubber ground covering provides safety for the little ones, and a giant spider web structure with a variety of slides is a favorite among young visitors.

The eastern section of the park features a tranquil pond, which is fed by fountains and flows into Toney’s Brook. The park is renowned for its famous World War I memorial, which stands on an island in the middle of the pond. Created in 1924 by Charles Keck, the monument is a tall obelisk surrounded by bronze sculptures on which the names of those who fell in the First World War are etched. In front of the memorial are small plaques to commemorate those who died in the Vietnam, the Korean War, and World War II.

Other park amenities include a baseball/softball diamond, bikeways and footpaths, ice-skating in winter, and a concert pavilion for bands in the summer.
