About This Memorial

The World War II Memorial at Veterans Park in Trenton, New Jersey, commemorates the service, duty, and sacrifice of the 560,000 New Jerseyans who served in the armed forces during World War II. Dedicated on November 11, 2008, its central feature is the 'Lady Victory' sculpture, symbolizing the courage of the WWII generation. The memorial includes six service markers, two story walls with veterans' accounts, and battle scenes from the Atlantic and Pacific theaters. It also highlights New Jersey's role in industrial production and military training during the war. The site offers interpretive kiosks and an amphitheater for reflection.

"The park in general looks very nice. The memorial section is beautiful, nice ball field, playground for kids, and soccer field. However, if you're in to tennis, it is very disappointing. Total neglect. The nets are torn and moss grows on them. The wind shades flutter in the breeze knocking over anything and anyone in their path. The weeds around the perimeter are like Wriggly Field's ivy,where balls are forever lost. There is also a tree that's growing inside the court. Please Parks and Rec put a little effort into the tennis courts, especially because there are so few around this area."
