battlefield park
Historic warfare grounds
A battlefield park is a protected area preserving the site of a historic military engagement, typically maintained for education and commemoration.
Most battlefield parks in the United States mark Civil War or Revolutionary War sites: We visited the battlefield park at Gettysburg.
The term combines the historical significance of the location with its current status as public parkland.
