Kimberley Veteran Memorial Park was unveiled on July 8, 2017, recognizing the service of all Veterans. A local Veterans group, Military Ames, had approached the City of Kimberley about a vacant downtown lot, presented their plans for a Memorial Park, and the City dedicated the land to them. Military Ames received several grants and assistance, including from Kimberley District Heritage Society, to construct the park.
Within the park is the Cenotaph, two Memorial Walls, a border of boulders that represent strength, and a direct descendant Vimy Oak. The park was laid out so that from an aerial view it depicts a Celtic Cross. At each four points of the cross there is embedded flagstone from the decommissioned cenotaph, representing a compass to guide the souls of the fallen home.
