Legion Park is a small triangular site bordered by Brighton Road, Shadeland Avenue, and Davis Avenue. It has three monuments dedicated to the Brighton Heights citizens who served in the military in World War I, World War II, and the wars since then of the Korean, Viet Nam, and Gulf Wars. A dramatic landmark in this park is the 25-foot sculpture entitled “Sacrifice”. This granite mythological figure was erected in 1922 as a tribute to World War I veterans from the neighborhood.
Various activities of the Federation have been held at the park – the Memorial Day ceremonies in conjunction with the American Legion Post , the Halloween Parade award ceremony, and Christmas Light up night.
