Founders’ Memorial Park

Founders’ Memorial Park preserves a quiet public green over the former Mount Olive and Broadway cemetery grounds in Whittier.
Memorial features connect the space with the early residents buried here, adding a historical dimension to a short outdoor visit.
Treat the grounds respectfully as a former burial place and follow posted city guidance. Grave-record research is arranged separately through the city rather than through a staffed park museum. The photograph shows the memorial entrance and planted surroundings, not a surviving full layout of the former cemetery or a current commemorative event.
