Parkview Heights World War II Memorial Restored

Parkview Heights was the first subdivision in Springfield Township. In 1947, the neighborhood dedicated a bronze plaque that reads "To Honor the Men and Women of Parkview Heights Who Served in World War II." This plaque has stood at the intersection of North Bend Road and Northern Parkway for 78 years, but in the last several years has been obstructed by landscaping.

Springfield Township resident Wes Girdler reached out to find out if the Township could help restore the plaque to its former glory. Public Works Director Scott Schardine and Trustee Joe Honerlaw worked with the property owner to preserve the historical aspects of the site, like the original flag pole, and to make the plaque itself more visible.

78 years later, the Parkview Heights World War II Memorial stands out in the oldest neighborhood in Springfield Township.
