Bronx Victory Memorial - Historical landmark in Bronx - Pelham Bay Park, USA

The first time I visited the statue I thought it was cupid lol because I saw a lot of people getting married by it 🤦🤦🤦 the second time I figured out it's a beautiful tribute to WWI veterans.

Beautiful monument with an area to sit around it. The highlight right now is the gorgeous osprey nest on the top! You can see the pair circling and it is a great example of how nature intersects with our lives here in the city.

Gorgeous park to visit! It is a huge gem in the Bronx, safe and well taken care of. 💯 recommended to visit 👌🏻 Great job to authorities for keeping it safe and clean. Everyone, including visitors should do their part to keep it that way! 🙌🏻

I've been coming to this statue for many years. I love this spot and have been reluctant to write a review because I want it to be lowkey. However, enough people know of it, especially if you're from the Bronx. I come here mainly to do some martial arts training in front of the lawn and to get some power from the statue. Something about the statue just always amazes me. As of now, there's a huge hawks nest on the statue and the hawk parents can be seen looking for food or fending off would be predators that want to snatch their babies. Beautiful statue and very peaceful lawn, one of the quieter areas of Pelham Bay park during the summer.

Beautiful park surrounding a very strong meaningful spire with a winged statue on top. A great honor to our veterans.

Beautiful place. The location is very convenient. Few minutes walk from Pelham Bay Park station. I enjoyed my time here

Nice big park! Great for picnic, ball playing, exercising, walk, etc.

Here's a towering monument to those lost during The Great War, or as we know it today, World War I. Many areas throughout the city have areas dedicated to War veterans of many generations. This particular one might actually be one of the finest ever built. Anyone who takes the IRT#6 to its terminus at Pelham Bay Park will notice the structure right away. The statue atop the memorial actually faces the original direction that the American Boy Statue once faced when it sat atop the old Rice Stadium for 50 odd years. It's quite a sight to see mourning reefs placed along the base for Veteran's Day every November.
