A Civic Memorial Project Honoring Women Veterans Through Public Space, Accessibility, and Meaningful Design
Veterans Park
Okaloosa Island, Florida
A Public Space Designed to Honor Service and Welcome the Community
Empire Builders Group completed work at Veterans Park for Okaloosa County, helping bring to life a meaningful civic space dedicated to honoring women who have served in the United States military.
The project included the construction of key public and memorial features throughout the park, including a dedication plaza, honor wall, park benches, pavers around a multi-flag display, and eight life-size bronze statues honoring women veterans from different eras of American military history.
In addition to the memorial elements, the project included ADA-accessible paved sidewalks, wooden boardwalks, landscaping, irrigation, and lighting to support both daily public use and the long-term presentation of the park.
Built to Serve the Public with Accessibility, Function, and Meaning
