Veterans Park Engraving Wall Program

Plaque

The renovations at Veterans Park offer a new opportunity to honor veterans, both past and present. Some of the existing bricks at the park will be removed during construction and added to a series of granite panels in a new location in the park.

You can order an inscription including the name of a veteran and their branch of service to be added to the first series of panels to be installed during the renovation. The cost for each inscription is $100.

The first series of granite panels will be installed at the park during the 2022 park enhancement. Subsequent orders will be installed in lots of 45 or on an annual basis.
