The memorial garden, designed by the council’s biT team and installed by contractors Welch and Phillips and Brewood Landscapes, is located within Telford Town Park, behind Withy Pool (beyond the Visitor Centre), near to the Dark Lane car park.
Attractively landscaped, it features a variety of species of trees including oak, elm and alder, plus wild meadow areas, 11 benches spread across the garden and adjacent hillside, and views across Withy Pool.
Cllr Carolyn Healy, cabinet member for leisure, climate action, green spaces and heritage, said:
“We wanted to support Telford residents by providing a calm and soothing space, dedicated to the memory of loved ones lost during the pandemic, for people who are still experiencing the impact of Covid, whether through bereavement, long-term illness or trauma."
