About Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Park in Fayetteville

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Park is located in Fayetteville, North Carolina. The park spans 13 acres of land dedicated to commemorating the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

A central feature of the park is an impressive sculpture of Dr. King, which stands prominently over the grounds. The statue depicts Dr. King with his right hand raised, as if giving a speech, standing behind and reaching over a balustrade. The sculpture stands eight and a half feet tall, serving as a focal point for visitors.

The park provides a quiet and receptive space for reflection and contemplation. It serves as a place for the community to gather and honor Dr. King's teachings on nonviolence, social justice, and racial equality.

Future plans for the park include the addition of a fountain, a lighted spire, gardens, and a walking trail. These proposed additions aim to enhance the park's role as a place of commemoration and community engagement.
