"The Veterans Memorial Park or known to locals as "The Monument" has been a staple in our community since it's dedication in 1956. Although the park has changed over time with added memorials, it speaks to visitors of its rich history in our area. The Veterans Memorial Park is both a physical and visual reminder to the brave sacrifice our soldiers endured for our freedom. The grounds offer plenty of bricked paths to explore the many memorials & monuments placed throughout. The vast surrounding fields offer a great spot for both picnics & quiet spots for reflection. With a convenient location just off of 295 and Route 9. One can also observe the Twin Spans of the Delaware Memorial Bridge in the distance as well. The park is designated as one of 68 recognize sites by the national Veterans Day committee and Washington D.C to officially host Memorial and Veterans Day services in the United States and its territories."
