Phase II
The Gilbert Sister Cities’ Friendship Garden is a project to celebrate our sister city relationships with Antrim & Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland and Leshan, China. It is located within the 272 acre Gilbert Regional Park. The design of the garden is in the shape of a labyrinth and will include trees and plants indigenous to Gilbert and our partner communities. The park is under development in collaboration with the Town of Gilbert and is slated for a grand opening in May 2022. The garden will also feature a 30' long mural that was inspired by local high school students and painted by a professional muralist depicting life in Gilbert and our sister cities.
The vision of the garden keeps with the long-standing mission of Gilbert Sister Cities to further the development of greater friendship and understanding between the people of the Town of Gilbert and other nations. The garden will honor the diversity and rich culture of the global friendships between the Town of Gilbert, Arizona, Antrim & Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland and Leshan, China.
The garden design is envisioned to capture the
interconnectedness between our communities, while imparting a unique personal
experience of three different cultural landscapes. The garden will provide both a symbol and
experience to citizens and visitors alike to consider the importance of
diversity and connectedness in enhancing our thriving community.
