TUALATIN, OR — The City of Tualatin is proud to announce the official ribbon cutting ceremony for the newly completed Veterans Plaza, taking place on Memorial Day, Monday, May 26, at 9:30am at Tualatin Lake of the Commons. This special event marks the culmination of five years of planning, community input, and construction aimed at honoring the service and sacrifice of local veterans and their families.
Veterans Plaza was thoughtfully designed as a place of peaceful reflection, featuring native plantings and stone elements that create a serene atmosphere. The plaza is now also home to three original sculptures by nationally renowned artist Douwe Blumberg, selected by the Veterans Plaza Service-Inspired Art Committee for their powerful storytelling and emotional resonance.
“This plaza represents our community’s deep respect and appreciation for those who have served,” said Tualatin Mayor Frank Bubenik. “It is a lasting tribute to our veterans and their families as it is a space where people can gather, remember, and reflect. We are proud to open this meaningful place to the public on Memorial Day.”
Following the ribbon cutting, attendees are invited to join the annual Memorial Day Observance at 10:45 AM, held across the Lake of the Commons. The observance will continue the day’s recognition of veterans and provide a solemn space for remembrance.
The City invites all community members, veterans, and their families to attend this momentous occasion.
