The rivers Brun and Calder are represented on the team crest, these are also represented in the garden, creating the gap between the garden and the Jimmy McIlroy Stand, they are adorned by wild grass and paving stones, remembrance walks and park benches.

An Archway, upheld by two chimneys which represent the historic cotton mill past of the town, envelopes the crest that had adorned Burnley 6th Form School that had stood for over 70 years, which has recently been lovingly restored.

A flower populated pergonia, encapules the main entry into the Memorial Garden and gives the feeling of the tunnel as you enter the field of play. The grass either side is also cut to give the impression that the pitch extends in the the Garden.

Mirroring the design if the halfway line, the main Memorial Wall, half moon in shape, holds the plaques of loved ones, with areas of loose stone, where ashes can be spread. In the centre stand the Owd Gowmless light, which is a replica of the original gas light that stood outside the Bull Inn on St James Street at the time Burnley FC was formed.

"If the spirit of Turf Moor ever assumed human form, it might appear as a strapping claret-and-blue dreadnought, dispensing inspiration and good cheer in the broad, earthly tones of north-east Lancashire, and answering to the name of Brian Miller." Ivan Ponting, The Independent.
