Families can now apply to place a permanent memorial for a deceased loved one at Peters Colony Memorial Park, Flower Mound's 3.3-acre park that opened June 11.

The Town of Flower Mound announced Aug. 27 that it is accepting applications for two types of tributes at the park, located at 3201 Peters Colony Rd. just west of the Flower Mound Public Library.

The two options are Legacy Monuments and free-standing Children's Memorials. Both are posthumous recognition only.

To qualify for a Legacy Monument panel, the person being honored must have lived in Flower Mound for at least five years. If the honoree was under 18, parents or guardians must also have been residents at the time of the child's passing.

For a Children's Memorial, the child must have been a Flower Mound resident under age 18, with no minimum residency requirement. Parents or guardians must have been residents at the time of the child's passing.

There is no application fee. A $2,500 fabrication and engraving fee covers creating and installing the tribute. The town reserves the right to waive fees for honorees who provided extraordinary community service, according to the memorial policy approved by the Parks Board on Oct. 2, 2025.

Panels can include a full legal name, military rank and branch emblem with proof of honorable discharge, first responder titles and service emblems, and life dates. Nationally recognized titles may also be included if verifiable.

Applications are accepted year-round and reviewed quarterly in January, April, July and October. The next review period begins in October. Denied applications may be appealed to the Parks Board.

Space on the monuments is limited. The town may suspend applications if capacity runs out.

The $3.36 million park was funded mostly through tax increment reinvestment zone proceeds and a $750,000 grant from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, according to the Flower Mound Bee. Construction began in October 2024.

The park includes a veterans plaza named for Doug Brown, a Flower Mound centenarian who enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps and flew B-25s and A-26s during World War II, then joined the Counter Intelligence Corps in 1948 and retired from the Army in 1966. Brown moved to Flower Mound in 1984.

"I've had a good life," Brown said at the plaza dedication on June 12, as the North Texas Sun reported.
