Lexington Veteran Pavilion and Amphitheater
The Lexington Veterans Memorial Pavilion, located in Kirkpatrick Memorial Park, was dedicated on June 29, 2024, in honor of all veterans and active service members, especially those from Lexington and Dawson County. The venue features an open-air amphitheater with restrooms and handicap access, a five-sided walkway with military branch emblems, and a memorial wall for veteran recognition bricks.
While the Pavilion is complete, ongoing fundraising through Give Big Lexington supports the purchase of additional memorial bricks for veterans who no longer have family to honor them. These bricks will be purchased by the City of Lexington to honor more veterans.
Families wishing to purchase a memorial brick for a veteran can contact Dennis Burnside at dburnside@cityoflex.com for more information.
Your contribution helps preserve this space as a place of remembrance, education, and community gathering for generations to come.
