Edmond
A Place to Grow
On March 9, 1998, the Edmond City Council renamed Liberty Park to Shannon Miller Park in recognition of Shannon Miller (1977- ) and her outstanding achievements and goodwill she has brought to Edmond as America's most decorated female gymnast. She holds seven Olympic medals, two world championships and two national championships. The Council also committed $80,000 to the construction of a Shannon Miller bronze statue for the park. The statue was dedicated on May 12, 2001.
