Bethlehem Memorial Park is a small, triangular piece of property on Delaware Avenue just south of the railroad crossing. The park was dedicated in November 1942 at the Delmar-Elsmere boundary. 

It resulted from the efforts of Otto deHeus, Dr. Thomas Holmes and John Oliver who formed a "Servicemen's Committee" to raise funds for landscaping and the construction of an honor roll containing the names of Bethlehem residents serving in the military during World War II. 

In 1962, Arthur Main deeded the property to the town and the "Bethlehem Memorial Committee" was formed to erect a more permanent monument to honor all Bethlehem residents who served in the military. A granite monument and enhanced landscaping was dedicated on Memorial Day, 1964. 

In June 2001, the Community Appearance Committee of the Bethlehem First Task Force agreed to sponsor activities regarding the restoration and enhancement of the Bethlehem Veterans Memorial Park. As a group associated with the Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce, the ad hoc committee, under the leadership of Virginia Acquario, developed a plan and budget to implement change. With the early support of the town supervisor, Sheila Fuller, the Nathaniel Adams Blanchard Post of the American Legion and the Bethlehem Memorial Post No. 3185 of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the project has renewed the landscape and launched a brick campaign to commemorate and honor those who served our country. It is hoped that an eternal public awareness will be made possible through the restored beauty of the park.
