Reflection Park completes transformation from crime scene into memorial
The City of Broken Arrow will cut the ribbon on its newest park facility at 2 p.m., March 27. Located at 709 Magnolia Ct., Reflection Park is dedicated to victims of the Bever family murders and the first responders at the tragic crime scene.
In 2017, private donors from Broken Arrow and throughout the Tulsa metro area gave $50,000 to purchase the house, which was demolished after a fire broke out in the then vacant home. City Councilor Mike Lester led the successful fundraising campaign to turn the property into a memorial park and garden, after the brutal killing of five Bever family members in July 2015. Police arrested two brothers in connection with the crime.
After a tranquil gathering to mark the beginning of the project in May 2018, the City used mostly donated supplies and labor to construct a small walking path, garden and gazebo on the site, which connects to the City’s existing Indian Springs Mini Park behind the property.
“We can never erase the tragedy that occurred here, but we are making a statement with Reflection Park that we will not allow evil to define who we are and the high standards we hold as a community,” Lester said. “Thanks to the generosity of so many people in Broken Arrow and the metro area, we have built a place of peace and serenity.”
