Dedicated in 1976, Constitution Gardens serves as an oasis within the bustling city for visitors, residents and wildlife. A memorial island in the middle of an artificial lake has stones bearing the names and signatures of the fifty-six men who signed the Declaration of Independence. Their pledge to freedom exists as a living tribute within this natural setting celebrating the U.S. Constitution. Before this became a park the Main Navy and Munitions Buildings were located here during World War I. Even though they were listed as temporary buildings, they were still occupied in the 1970s.
