Angels Island Memorial Park & Playground
Angels Island first memorialized the death of the three Milberg children who died tragically at the ages of 5, 5, & 11 in a horrific automobile accident.

It started with one piece of equipment; a wooden pirate ship hand-built by one man from Tennessee. The park was now on the map. It gradually grew with donations from all over the five-state area.
Today Angels Island is abundant with flowers, shrubs, memorial spaces for each child, a garden that honors babies who were never granted the opportunity to grow into toddlers.
