Located on a 1.67-acre site in Van Tuyl Plaza at Craig Ranch in McKinney, the Corporal RD Foster Veterans Memorial Park features a Wall of Honor with the inscribed names of Collin County servicemen and women who sacrificed their lives in defense of our freedom, while honoring all veterans. A lighted American flag flies 24 hours a day over the wall. A fountain at the flagpole’s base symbolically waters Shumard Red Oak trees (water restrictions allowing), representing each Armed Services branch. A ribbon-like walkway extends from one end to the other.

The park’s opening ceremony took place on Veterans Day 2011.
