Visit the Veterans Memorial Park Tuscaloosa to examine examples of equipment used by the U.S Armed Forces, and to see monuments honouring discharged veterans. The park commemorates the veterans of all sections of the U.S. Armed Forces. It sits on the site of the former Northington General Army Hospital, which was one of the largest military hospitals toward the end of WWII. The focal point of the park’s attractions is the mast of the USS Tuscaloosa CA37 battle cruiser. The ship played a significant part during WWII campaigns, including at Normandy, Okinawa and Iwo Jima. Close to the mast you’ll see one of the ship’s artillery guns, used to combat aircraft attacks. Among other interesting things to see is a suspended Vought A-7E Corsair, an aircraft similar to those used during the Vietnam War. Check out the military helicopter, tank and jeep and read the interpretive signs that provide information about the vehicles and their roles in combat. Don’t miss the several Honour Roll of Veterans monuments situated around the park. These engraved walls display the names of some 3,000 veterans who served in the U.S. Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps and Navy. Time your visit to be part of events that celebrate the memory of the men, women and veterans that served in or lost their lives while representing the U.S Armed Forces. Memorial Day takes place on the last Monday of May and Veterans Day is in November. Find full details of the events on the park’s official website. Located in midtown Tuscaloosa, the Veterans Memorial Park Tuscaloosa is a 10-minute drive from the city’s downtown district. If arriving by car, you’ll find free parking at the adjacent University Mall. The Tuscaloosa trolley stops at University Mall. The park is open daily, from dawn to dusk.

(47 reviews) EXTREMELY difficult to get to find the access to the building. EVERY uber we ordered came to the location adjacent to the 3rd street "entrance" which we could not access. once we finally got into the building--a resident above the hamburger place helped us walk the entire grounds to eventually see the ramp and entrances for 1st floor access--we then found out that we had to download two apps so that we could get door codes. we spent 90 minutes sorting out HOW to get to the entrance and then organizing the apps to get the locks arranged. once that was figured out, access for us was simple. uber drivers all said they had difficulty getting guests from this location in the past. shower had no hot water and the pressure was terrible.
