Funding has been granted by City of Orlando to reconstruct the Father Pinder Monument (Info) built in 2010 at the NW corner of W. Central and Glen Lane (MAP) in Parramore Heritage Park. The proposed new site is at the northwest corner of W. Church St. and Terry Ave. (MAP).
Upon the City and CRA’s partnership to sell property to the Orlando City soccer team to develop the stadium, the Monument needed to be relocated.
The design includes the hardscape and landscape treatments to support the Monument in this new location.
The engineer’s estimated cost to reconstruct the Monument at its new location is $85,646.

About Father Pinder:
"When many areas of our country were experiencing violence in the streets, during the Civil Rights Era, Father Pinder brought a message of peace to our community. He went into neighborhoods when tensions were high and taught young people to choose active peace initiatives to bring justice. These brave young people came to be known as Pinder's Kids and will remain in Orlando's memory for the example of peace they set for future generations." (Source)
