Bastrop City Parks

Veterans Memorial Park in Smithville, TX is a poignant tribute to the brave men and women who have served the USA since the Texas War for Independence in 1836. The park combines a children's water recreation area, a memorial space, and a monument, honoring all who have worn a uniform with pride and dignity. Established in 2013, the park was inspired by the sacrifices of military service personnel from Bastrop County during the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. With a focus on honoring fallen heroes and providing a space for remembrance and reflection, Veterans Memorial Park stands as a symbol of gratitude and respect for those who have served their country.Generated from the website
