We took the 2 mile walk from the waterfront to the Wrigley Memorial, which was a pleasant 45 minute walk, and arrived at the memorial. The memorial is a cactus garden and indigenous plant garden, built in 1934 and it looks it. The memorial, at the far end of the garden, should be billed as an ancient ruin rather than a memorial to anyone. However, William Wrigley Jr. was the owner of the Chicago Cubs, which is also a ruin that has gone 105 years without winning the World Series, so the place works as a monument to where old Cubs go to die!
They want $7.00 a person to view this wreck. I'd walk up to the gate, take a quick look, and turn around and take the two mile walk back to the harbor and have a coffee and a cookie with the $7 you save.

We walked from the harbor to the memorial. the memorial has a spanish theme and is covered in beautiful tiles. the gardens had a large variety of cati and native plants.

You can take great pictures from the top of the memorial.

This was a mellow little walk down a path filled with some of the most beautiful vegetation I have seen. Yes this is a small collection but worth the small fee to see all the little wonders that Ms.Wrigley brought to the island. Mr.Wrigley's memorial is quite the resting place as well with a breath taking view. Thank you to Sue at the Post Office for recommending this lovely place.

We enjoyed the information movies at the beginning of the walking path. We visited during the late afternoon, and loved walking through the gardens in the late sunshine. The Wrigley Memorial has a beautiful view and is a beautiful tribute to Mr. Wrigley! The ticket booth operator was very sweet and helpful. She let us know it was easier to walk up the left ramp to get up to the top - and funner to go down the steps on the left of the memorial when leaving. :)
