The Town of Indian Shores in partnership with Pinellas County recently unveiled its new Monument Project at the Mayor James J. Lawrence Veterans Memorial Park located inside Tiki Gardens, 19601 Gulf Blvd., Indian Shores.

The monument site features educational kiosks, an arch that depicts native flora and fauna and a central sculpture that features a Tocobaga Indian family that honors our past and celebrates the feeling of family. 

The project was made possible with funds from Penny for Pinellas.

The overall project was the design of local artist Steve Graff. The bronze sculpture is by Geza Gaspar. Legacy Vacation Resorts – Indian Shores sponsored a sidewalk that provides a guided walking path for beach access to their guests.
