Veteran's Memorial Park

In November of 2017 the Veteran's Memorial Park ceremony was held. The park was previously know as West End Park. With the efforts of Mayor Morse, the Veteran's Memorial Committee and the City of Cohoes Department of Public Works the park has been transformed into a place that residents can pay tribute to Cohoes Veteran's.

The Veteran's Memorial Committee collected donations to complete the park and also gave families an opportunity to honor their loved ones by purchasing pavers that were installed in the parks walkways.

This spring the park was blooming with all the new landscaping and a wonderful place for Cohoes families to visit. This was another CohoesPROUD moment of the City of Cohoes.

To learn more about the park or to find a way to honor a loved one please visit the Veteran's Memorial website.
