Veterans Memorial Park

Veterans Memorial Park is a deeply respected site in Port St. Lucie, Florida, that is dedicated to honoring military veterans with a unique design compared to other memorial parks. Dedicated in April of 1995, it’s a fortress-like memorial shaped like the Pentagon, with each of its five tips representing a different branch of military service. Each branch is recognized through its flags and emblems. The design and layout offer a powerful and moving walk through history, dating back to the revolutionary period.

Veterans Memorial Park in Port St Lucie holds more than the pentagon-shaped memorial. There are also featured memorials to the Vietnam Veterans, World War II Memorial, Korean Memorial, and a memorial for those who earned the Purple Heart. More recently (2022), it was decided to add two new memorials honoring those from the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. Veterans Memorial Park was chosen out of 50 other potential sites across Florida.

Entrance to the park is free and handicap accessible. The quiet and inclusive space provides the perfect environment for reflection and a space for those who want to pay their respects to military service members. With ample parking available, visitors can quietly and easily explore the 2.5 acres day or night as the visitation area, tables, and benches are all lit.

This park serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by military personnel across multiple conflicts and periods. From the thoughtful design to the memorials and dedication to honoring all of our military branches, it’s a significant location for historical education and personal reflection.
