Vietnam Veterans Plaza, Memorial plaza in Financial District, Manhattan, United States.
The Vietnam Veterans Plaza features a ceremonial entrance from Water Street and includes a black granite fountain in the center of its trapezoidal space.
The site transformed from Coenties Slip road to Jeannette Park in 1884, before becoming a memorial plaza dedicated to Vietnam veterans in 1985.
The Walk of Honor displays twelve polished granite pylons inscribed with the names of 1,741 individuals who lost their lives during the Vietnam War.
Located near multiple transit options, the plaza is accessible via subway lines to Wall Street stations and bus routes serving Lower Manhattan.
Following the September 11 attacks, Mayor Giuliani rededicated the plaza in 2001 after a 7 million dollar restoration project.
