The new garden will include four bronzed busts of the Destroyers, new seating and lighting.
The project is being delivered with funding support from Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council, the NI Rural Development Programme through Lagan Rural Partnership and fundraisers carried out by the Destroyers Committee.
It is due to be completed in September 2018.

Alderman William Leathem, Chair of the Council's Development Committee commenting on the new garden, said: "We are certainly all looking forward to seeing the completed work and hope that many people will visit this new attraction in the centre of Dromara in recognition of the success of the Dromara Destroyers but also to celebrate the success of the wider motorbike fraternity from Dromara and the surrounding areas."
Allan Ewart MBE, Chair of Lagan Rural Partnership, added: "It is a pleasure to be here to see the fantastic support for this ride out event and hear how interested everyone is in the development of the new Dromara Destroyers Tribute Garden. This project will really add something special to the centre of Dromara village and the surrounding rural community celebrating their support for these riders and the wider biking fraternity over the years."
