Town Point Park is a seven-acre waterfront space along the Elizabeth River featuring walking paths, planted gardens, and fountains. The layout provides quiet areas for strolling and larger open spaces designed for gatherings and performances.
The park underwent major renovation in 2008 and reopened in 2009 with upgraded acoustic systems and modern performance infrastructure. This transformation established it as a key venue for the city's events and gatherings.
The park hosts major festivals like Norfolk Harborfest and Bayou Boogaloo, drawing crowds for music and entertainment that shape the city's social calendar. These events have become central to how locals gather and celebrate together.
The park is located along Waterside Drive and connects easily to downtown Norfolk on foot. Visitors can find benches and grassy areas throughout for resting or sitting while enjoying the water views.
A memorial within the grounds displays bronze-engraved letters written by fallen service members before their deaths across multiple conflicts. These personal messages connect visitors to stories spanning centuries of American military service.
