Town Point Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
.
Town Point Park is a 7-acre (2.8 ha)[1] waterfront city park on the Elizabeth River in Norfolk, Virginia, USA. The park hosts many annual festivals, 4th of July fireworks and outdoor music performances.
Located in the park are The Homecoming and the Armed Forces Memorial.
The Armed Forces Memorial is located at the southwest corner of the park, on the river. The Memorial plaza features 20 letters home from US service people from the American Revolution through the Gulf War, all of whom died after writing their letter. The letters are engraved on bronze plates and appear as if strewn by the wind on the Memorial.[2]
Town Point Park is located in downtown Norfolk and is adjacent to Nauticus and the museum ship USS Wisconsin (BB-64).
