Welcome To
Pearl Harbor Memorial Park

Dedicated in 2018, in memoriam of those who gave their lives serving the US. armed forces during the December 1941 attacks on Pearl Harbor, the park features architectural elements mimicking the Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge over the Quinnipiac River.

The Park itself was designed to replicate the "Q" Program logo incorporating the oval of the bridge piers and the crossing highway.

The center island within the oval pathway mimics the shape and actual size of the Anchor Piers on the Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge.

Visit the viewing platform for views of the Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge and read the sign that explains its significance in our country's history.

The Memorial is a 13-ton mock-up of the Anchor Piers of the Pearl Harbor Memorial Bridge. To the right of the Memorial stands a plaque listing the names of the 18 Connecticut servicemen lost during the attacks at Pearl Harbor.

The park is home to 18 benches representing each of the 18 servicemen.

Please enjoy the park respectfully.
