Fayetteville is proud to be the home of the North Carolina Veterans Park. The first state park dedicated to military veterans – young and old…living or deceased…from all branches of the Armed Services; Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard.

With its rich military heritage, Fayetteville is the perfect place to house the North Carolina Veterans Park. The city’s beautifully revitalized downtown is a fitting location, given the spirit of renewal embodied in the park. What’s more, North Carolina is proud to call itself the “Most Military Friendly” state, and the Veterans Park incorporates many natural and architectural elements that represent the state. Symbolic features pay homage to the veterans from all 100 counties of North Carolina and represent the citizens who support them.

The primary theme of the North Carolina Veterans Park (NCVP) is a “Veteran’s Journey: life before, during, and after service.” The secondary theme is rebirth and healing. This park represents that redevelopment.

A 3,500 square foot Visitors Center anchors the park near the entrance. The Visitors Center includes a Service Ribbon Wall made of fused glass, representing every service medal awarded since the Civil War, as well as a unique chandelier made from 33,500 “dog tags” (service member identification tags). There is also an interactive globe that allows you to pinpoint a location and learn about the heroic events that happened there.

Outside the Visitors Center is the North Carolina Soils Wall, built with soil collected from the state’s 100 counties. Native soils from North Carolina are featured and used throughout the park. Numerous fountains and sculptures help tell the story of a service member’s journey through their military career and beyond.

It is a good place to visit and learn about the past. You pick up a passport on your way in at the information desk. In it has places around town you can go visit and explore, when your done you ask for a stamp or sticker to collect in your book. It makes a great piece for your scrap book and the kids will have fun with it to.

Good memorial. All the fire/water features were off though. Grounds could use some upkeep.

Me and my wife had an awesome time here. It is great to always honor those who gave up their lives for ours. This place is so magnificient that I would recommend anyone to go. The whole museum has been restored and it's brand new. Definitely planning on going back.

This is a good place for a quiet stroll and an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices made by many of our fellow citizens. Be sure to also visit the Airborne and Special Ops museum next to the park and then have lunch at one of the unique restaurants on Hay St.
