About Heroes Park
A Tribute to Fallen Public Servants
Heroes Park in Arlington is a heartfelt tribute to the city's Police and Fire Departments. This space honors those brave souls who gave everything in the line of duty, offering a quiet place to remember their sacrifice.
Memorial Features
At the heart of the park stands the "We Remember" Wall of Honor - a striking white stone memorial that lists the names of public servants who've lost their lives while serving Arlington since 1930. It's a powerful centerpiece that encourages a moment of pause and reflection.

Beside this wall flows the Stream of Life, a gentle fountain that sends water trickling into a peaceful pool. The soft sound of flowing water adds a calming backdrop to your thoughts as you move through the space.
You'll also discover a thoughtful Remembrance Courtyard and the Fallen Heroes Virtue Stone, both adding depth to this place of honor and quiet contemplation.
Park Design
A lovely tree-lined walkway guides you through the memorial. Along this path, you'll notice a donor paver area where community members have contributed their support to this meaningful place.
