Overview
Veterans Park in Nederland, TX is a memorial space to honor the brave men and women who have served the USA since the Texas War for Independence in 1836. The concept for the park developed during a conversation between City Manager Chris Duque and Angela Fanette, Parks and Recreation Supervisor.

Veterans Park honors everyone who has worn a uniform with pride and dignity: anyone who is currently serving our great country, anyone who has served in the past during war or peace, and anyone who survived conflict or perished in it. It follows a long-standing tradition in which began during World War II when Nederland residents banded together to create the Nederland Honor Roll. It also incorporates the Memorial which was relocated from Tex Ritter Park. For more information on the Nederland Honor Wall and previous memorials and monuments see the tabs on the left.

The Park project bid was awarded to L&L General Contractors and was designed by the LaBiche Architectural Group with input from the City's Veterans' Advisory Committee. The groundbreaking ceremony was scheduled for July 27, 2015 and the phase 1 of the park was completed in October 2015. The Dedication Ceremony was held on Veterans' Day, November 11, 2015. You can view Dedication Ceremony photographs, program and flyer below. The Dedication Ceremony was the culmination of the first phase of the Veterans Park Project. Phase II and III involve plans for a statue on a monument and an electronic kiosk to support the Veterans' Database Project.We will post information on those phases as it becomes available.
