I like this plaza. Nice fountain, but half of it doesn’t work. Really great oceans map and time to time the Navi orchestra plays the concerts there in summer. Every week there’s a movie night also. A lot is going on at this plaza!

This is an amazing little park. We were fortunate enough to me walking by when the military band was playing and stopped to listen. Great band but also super cool monuments. Check out the pics! Crazy detail to these bronze plates.

It was a really cool place to look around. My husband just started service in Navy last month, so this place was more meaningful personally.

I am an art lover, so this place made me happy. There are so many artworks that you would enjoy, and they were really well-made pieces.

The memorial building opens at 9:30 where as other buildings open at 10a. So, no excuse to not pop in and have a browse. It's free. The plaza has interesting information.

Meaningful spot to visit highlighting many functions of the US Navy through the years, illustrated in detailed bronze reliefs. The significant and appropriate fountains are not currently operating. Naval flags abound and there is a small museum on the square as well. The bronze statue of the Warer of the Seven Seas bestows luck on all sailors who touch his statue. Being a Navy spouse, I particularly appreciated that our role is represented in one of the reliefs.

The bronze figurines / plaques surrounding the plaza are very nicely made depicting various aspects of Navy including peace time activities
Definitely worth spending time looking at these.
Children would love to see these and
Great stories can be narrated to them
