George F Marshall Memorial Park

Marshall Memorial Park is a 6-acre green space located along House Creek Greenway in Raleigh, North Carolina. The park was dedicated in 2012 as a gift to the city from George F. "Rick" Marshall in honor of his father, Lt. Col. George F. Marshall, a decorated veteran of World War II who was killed in action in North Africa.

The park offers a peaceful retreat for visitors, featuring winding paths that meander through lush vegetation alongside House Creek. It serves as a connector to the larger House Creek Greenway trail system, allowing pedestrians and cyclists to enjoy nature within an urban setting. The park's location near the Blue Ridge Road entrance to the greenway makes it easily accessible to nearby residents and trail users.

A key feature of Marshall Memorial Park is its monument and pergola, which pay tribute to Lt. Col. Marshall and other veterans. This area provides a space for reflection and remembrance, enhancing the park's role as both a recreational space and a memorial.

While compact in size, the park maximizes its space to offer a tranquil environment for various activities such as walking, jogging, or simply enjoying the natural surroundings. The integration with the greenway system also makes it a valuable part of Raleigh's broader outdoor recreation network.
