The
Armed Forces
Park in Woonsocket is now a reality!
The United Veterans Council of Woonsocket is continuing their
fundraising project devoted to the maintenance and enhancement
of the Armed Forces Park in Woonsocket. This park is located on
a half-acre lot on Davison Avenue in Woonsocket, adjacent to the
entrance of the Blackstone River Bikeway and the City’s Rivers
Edge Sports Complex.
It is dedicated to the men and women of our community who served
our country in times of peace and war, and especially to those
who gave their lives in that service.
The park provides a permanent home for the city’s veteran
ceremonies and observances, and will be the site of
planned future monuments. In addition, plaques at the park will
educate visitors about the many veteran monuments and memorials
located throughout the city, and will honor the contributions of
our community in our nation's wars and conflicts.
How
can you help make this project a great success?
The park includes a beautiful paved brick walkway. You can
become a permanent part of this fitting tribute by purchasing a
brick in honor/memory of a loved one or in gratitude for the
service of our community’s veterans. Brick prices are as
follows:
8x8 brick -- $150
* Symbols are also available on the 8x8 brick
Thank you
for your interest. This project is a huge undertaking, but with
the support of both individuals and businesses, this park will
continue to be a fitting memorial to our veterans - past,
present and future.
Thank you
for your support!
