Important Park Information Now complete, Deterrent Park offers a location for the Navy too honor all submariners past, future and present.
PNWSHA is a 501.c.3 Tax-exempt Organization registered with and accountable to the IRS. It is also a Washington State registered charity
and nonprofit corporation. There is no paid staff nor paid fundraiser personnel. All non-construction work, and construction, was done by
volunteers. The Association's only expenses are construction costs and a very small advertising budget.
It is PNWSHA's hope that Deterrent Park will help educate the thousands of
tourists, scouts, sea cadets and students who visit Sub Base Bangor each year on organized tours. The placement of Deterrent Park also stands as a constant
reminder to the hundreds of Active Duty Submarine Crew, and Support Personnel stationed at Bangor of the service and sacrifice of those who have gone before.
Deterrent Park is now a stage for future crew reunions, promotion and award
ceremonies, reenlistments, retirements, and Memorial Day weekend ceremonies in honor of all U.S. submarines on "eternal patrol."
Deterrent Park was, oh so literally, built brick-sale by brick-sale. - <Bricks are still available check - out our Online brick order form>
