Introducing the War Memorial Park Association, a prestigious organization established in 1947 with a rich history of dedication to honoring the sacrifices of our nation's heroes. As the original developer and operator of the park, the Association held the esteemed responsibility of managing the entire park for four decades.

​

In 1987, acknowledging the challenges faced by volunteer-based operations, the Association gracefully transferred the park's maintenance and operation responsibilities to the city of Martinsburg. However, their commitment to the park's legacy remained steadfast, and they evolved into the Friends of the Park organization.
