The City of Highland Park has established a temporary memorial remembering the seven victims of the Highland Park shooting at the Rose Garden, located adjacent to Highland Park City Hall, 1707 St. Johns Ave.

On Friday, Nov. 11, the city provided flowers at the Rose Garden and at the intersection of St. Johns and Central with an invitation to community members to lay them at the Rose Garden as part of personal reflection and remembrance.

A permanent memorial will be planned by the city based on feedback from victims, victims' families and the public. The city is cognizant that numerous victims are still recovering from physical injuries and are currently unable to participate in these discussions.

Plans for the permanent memorial will be discussed in 2023. Information regarding this process will be shared with the public via the city's website, eNews and social media, and with the media as well.
