Originally , this city park , located on a hill overlooking Bollinger Canyon Road and San Ramon Valley Blvd. , was to be named Alta Mesa Park . During the construction of the park , the City Council voted to change the name to Memorial Park to honor Tom Burnett , a San Ramon resident , and other victims from Flight 93 killed in the September 11 attacks of 2001 . A plaque was installed at the base of a lighted flagpole dedicated to those victims and the surrounding meadow is part of the city 's memorial tree program dedicated to local residents who have perished . The park was dedicated on September 11 , 2002
