    This linear park is the center strip where the rails used to be, between Railroad Street and L.P…read more Willingham Parkway. It is a passive park, currently fenced off for repair and replanting of the grass that looks like it's a little torn up from too much use. The park seems like it would be ideal as a farmers market or art show area. The top of the park is the main draw, the original Jacksonville train station since rebuilt and restored to its original exterior. The building was closed so I don't know what the interior looks like. There is also a small caboose rail car next to the station for maximum photographical awesomeness. The back end of the building has a small covered stage. [Review 15506 overall, 1010 of 2021, number 3048 in North Carolina.]

My kids loved watching Santa ride in on his Harley. The man playing Santa was courteous and didn't feel like they rushed the kids in and out like an assembly line. Or herding cattle. Didn't feel like that at all. The lines were crazy long. Just means so many of our local neighbors got to enjoy the fun festivities out city put on for its people. The "snow" could definitely be improved, but this is coming from a former northern who lived in the snow.

    I am sad that I did not have more time to visit this garden and memorial park. The park honors…read morethose who serve our country and is a place to gather to remember those who have given the greatest sacrifice for our freedom. It is home to the Beirut Memorial, the Onslow Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the Montford Point Marine Memorial, and 9/11 Memorial Beam from the World Trade Center. A number of Jacksonville's greenways and trails pass through the park. I've been to the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington and the South Wall in Pensacola and even the North Carolina Memorial Wall that is off I-85. This one in Jacksonville is as powerful and evocative as those. The Memorial includes an entry wall with medallions and flags representing all branches of the military, a walkway and bridge with French design, and a glass wall etched with names of those MIA, POW or dead. The Dome, completed in March of 2014 is the finishing piece of the memorial and 'caps' the fountain. The unofficial words from Taps is inscribed around the Dome. The Fountain has 5 jets representing each branch of the Armed Forces. Each jet is lit with a different color which can be viewed best at night. The 9/11 Memorial includes a beam from the Twin Towers, presented to the first troops to those who invaded Iraq from the police and firefighters of New York. The Beam is located by the Beirut Memorial and Entry Wall to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial at Lejeune Memorial Gardens in Jacksonville. There is free parking at the site. And hopefully you will have more time during your visit to appropriately appreciate the memorials. [Review 15514 overall, 1018 of 2021, number 3056 in North Carolina.]
