The city is seeking input on specific memorial elements to recognize veterans at the future Veterans Memorial Park. The city has developed the park’s overall design based on community input gathered in 2019 and would now like feedback on sample renderings for the Veterans Memorial Plaza area of the park.

Survey
Take the online survey available through June 11, 2022.

Some of the initial features of the Veterans Memorial Plaza include

• Flagpole and raised platform at center of plaza for educational presentations and veterans events
• Illuminated glass panels with images etched that could reflect different military branches and representation of different roles, genders and time periods
• Nearby parking lot to make the area easily accessible for people of all abilities
• Educational opportunities
• Benches to provide a place to sit and pay respects
• Several locations where commemorative plaques or elements honoring veterans could be integrated
• Ornamental landscaping and trees to provide shade and add natural elements

Veterans Memorial Park will be built near the intersection of Faraday Avenue and Cannon Road. In addition to the memorial plaza, the new park will feature sweeping ocean and lagoon views, walking trails, a nature inspired playground and a bike track.

The master plan report has the park layouts and renderings that give a feel for what to expect.

Next steps
Feedback gathered on the Veterans Memorial Plaza will be incorporated into the design and construction plans for the park. The park is currently planned for completion in Spring 2025.
