The park was established in 1921 to honor the 568 Hennepin County residents who died in World War I, with each tree planted in their memory.
Each tree in the park is accompanied by a bronze marker bearing the name of a fallen soldier, making it a living memorial.
The Victory Memorial Drive is home to a statue of Abraham Lincoln, which was dedicated in 1930 to symbolize peace and unity.
Victory Memorial Regional Park is part of the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway, a 50-mile loop of interconnected parkways and trails in Minneapolis.
In 2011, the park underwent a $6 million restoration to enhance its historical features and improve accessibility.
Each year, the park hosts a Memorial Day ceremony to honor veterans, featuring speeches, music, and a wreath-laying ceremony.
