Ocala-Marion County Veterans Memorial Park
Virtual Tour
Overview
Nestled in a quiet oasis located in the center of Ocala is a lasting memorial to veterans of all wars who lived, fought and died for the beliefs of individual freedom. With more than 5,000 bricks, 200 benches and 100 plaques, visitors can appreciate the history of our veterans from the birth of our nation forward. The park office is staffed completely by volunteers, many of whom are veterans and have first-hand recollections of the wars that were fought.
Rededicated in 2005, the park continues to be a treasure to our community, providing many opportunities to inform and educate citizens about the armed forces ad the men and women who served. It features the Medal of Honor monument, the presidential monument (honoring all presidents who served in our military), war memorabilia and picnic areas.
