Adam's Park · Fergus Falls, Minnesota

A quiet place in Fergus Falls, set aside for remembrance.

The Angel of Hope monument stands inside Adam's Park, surrounded by inscribed name pillars that hold the names of the children remembered here. The park is open to the public, free to visit, with no scheduled hours.

Where to find us

Inside Adam's Park, alongside Otto the Big Otter.

The Angel of Hope Memorial Park sits within Adam's Park (locally known as the Grotto), a public city park in Fergus Falls. Visitors will find the monument near the well-known "Otto the Big Otter" landmark — the same park families have walked through for generations.

The park is open to the public and free to visit. There are no gates, no admission, and no scheduled hours. Bring a flower. Sit awhile. The space was made for that.

What you'll find here

The angel, the pillars, the names held here.

At the center of the space stands the bronze angel — a small kneeling figure with a child in her arms, the same monument cast for every Angel of Hope park in the international network seeded by Richard Paul Evans' The Christmas Box.

Surrounding the angel are the name pillars: stone columns where families have inscribed memorial blocks for the children they're remembering. Each block carries a name. Together, the pillars form a quiet circle around the figure at the center — a place to walk slowly, read a name, leave a flower, and go.

Two gatherings a year

When the park fills with candles.

The park is quiet most of the year — and that's the point. But twice a year, families gather here together.

Annual Candlelight Vigil — the third Tuesday of May, at 7:00 pm. Bring a candle to light and a white flower to leave at the base of the angel in memory of your child.

December 6 Gathering — a companion winter remembrance tied to The Christmas Box tradition that inspired the Angel of Hope network worldwide.
