Patriot Park is the name of the 200-acre site that is home to the National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center, parade field and stadium, World War II Street and the Memorial Walk of Honor. Future plans call for the construction of an Armor Museum on the site, since the Armor School will join the Infantry School as part of the Maneuver Center of Excellence beginning in 2011. Eventually, a portion of Patriot Park will be open to limited commercial development, including a hotel, restaurant, retail stores and a conference center.
A large collection of armoured vehicles is currently in the process of being transferred from the Patton Museum at Fort Knox. It is assumed these vehicles will be put into storage until the new museum is created.
