About the Location

A Place of Remembrance

Located on East Market Street, Lest We Forget Memorial Park is Akron's quiet tribute to those who served our country. The heart of this modest space features a thoughtfully designed monument area, where plaques and inscriptions tell the stories of various wars and conflicts that shaped our nation's history.

As you stroll along the paved pathways, you'll find yourself naturally slowing down, taking in each memorial element that honors the veterans who sacrificed so much. Comfortable benches dot the landscape, inviting you to sit for a moment of reflection or quiet appreciation of the peaceful surroundings.

More Than a Memorial

Despite its small footprint, this memorial park helps preserve Akron's connection to military history. The community gathers here during commemorative events, veterans meet here, and younger generations can learn about service and sacrifice.

The park's central location makes it an accessible spot for anyone wanting to pay their respects or simply find a moment of quiet contemplation in the city. This humble reminder of the impact of military service on our community tells a larger story about honor, duty, and remembrance.
