The Equipment Park is located at the historic Commemorative Area at Fort McCoy, Wis.
The 900 block of the installation and the 11-acre area surrounding it are at the hub of the fort's history-preservation efforts.
The Equipment Park is an outdoor display of historic and present-day equipment representative of the types used on the installation.
The design of the park allows for display of 70 pieces of equipment, ranging from helicopters and howitzers to trucks and trailers.
Equipment Park was established in the mid-1990s to complement the Commemorative Area buildings.
What began as an initial outdoor display of five pieces of equipment (macro-artifacts) increased over time to what is today a display of 70 different end items.
All items on display in the Equipment Park specifically were selected in keeping with the Commemorative Area mission statement: "To present pieces of military equipment that are representative of what was used on Fort McCoy."
