Downtown Phoenix is home to this tribute to lost veterans of several wars including World Wars, Korean Conflict, Vietnam and the more recent Desert Storm. Encompassing two square blocks, adjacent to the State Capitol Museum, this park features monuments to those lost; the anchor from the USS Arizona, lost at Pearl Harbor and statues of Arizona contributors such as Franklin D. Roosevelt for his work with the Civilian Conservation Corps. Frequently utilized for festivals including Fabulous Phoenix 4th, this no-fee park is also a hot-spot for political gatherings.

  • Beautiful park, acknowledgement of all aspects of our countries history.
  • Lack of extensive information of each exhibit area with photos from either all or the majority of exhibits statues.

“I was very impressed with this park. It had memorials for all of our (the US) conflicts & wars. It recognized not only the people of these battles but also included the K-9's that have given their lives in the line. The park is well maintained & there is plenty of room to walk around for hours reading the many tablets of history. The sculptures are beautiful & extremely life like. It is like a giant time capsule that is left open for all to see. I found this park by chance. I wish there were more information with photos of all of the exhibits available.”
