Veterans Park Now Open in Havre de Grace

City officials in Havre de Grace marked Veterans Day with a special event: the official opening of Veterans Park.

The new park is located behind Citizens Care, between Market and Concord streets.

It includes seven exercise stations with multiple exercises posted at each.

There are also benches where people can memorialize their loved ones with plaques.

The area was originally called Citizens Park.

Mayor Bill Martin introduced the name Veterans Park in September, as the development was nearing completion, according to The Aegis.

Martin reportedly said the park is designed to be separate from the memorial at Tydings Park in that it is a “fluid living park” honoring veterans who are alive as well as those who have passed, with a design that encourages people to walk around and reflect.
