Fond du Lac’s Veterans Park getting ready for a major facelift

A ground breaking for additions and improvements in Fond du Lac’s Veterans Park will take place Thursday August 14th at 8:30 a.m.

The park will undergo a major transformation into what is being called a Washington, D.C. style memorial
with a paved event stage for celebrations, a gold star centerpiece to represent families of the fallen, a memorial wall with Custom Engraved Bricks and emblems with each branch of service on pillars. The park will also add Enhanced Landscaping & Green Spaces.

The $600,000 project is being funded by a gift from Fond du Lac County as well as donations. To donate to the park project, visit the website fdlareafoundation.com/donate. Corporate & Individual Sponsorships are also available. As of yesterday, the project was still $60,000 short of it’s goal.

Organizers of the project hope to have the park ready to go by Veterans Day.
