Approximate — the memorial park's Google Maps pin falls within a compact Tremont Borough lot on East Main Street (parcel 67-04-0152.001) that matches its documented site (the former Tremont Hardware lot), but the parcel's generic borough ownership doesn't positively identify it as the park's own lot, so the pin stays approximate.
The Robert C. “Pete” Wiscount Veteran’s Memorial Park occupies the former Tremont Hardware site on Main Street, dedicated on August 12, 2006 and presented by the Wiscount family. Its central monument reads: “This place of honor is dedicated to all those from the Tremont area who served and will serve our country.”
A planter bed holds flags for all armed-forces branches and conflicts, and a walkway is lined with memorial bricks — turning a former commercial lot into a place of veterans remembrance.
