The African American Heritage Memorial Park includes a one-acre 19th century African American Cemetery. There are 21 known burials on this site and six identified headstones remain and are in their original location. The park design includes part of the original landscape of the cemetery and a wetland.

The memorial sculptures in the park are the creation of Washington, D.C. sculptor, Jerome Meadows. The focal point of the park is a sculpture group of bronze trees called "Truths that Rise from the Roots Remembered" which acknowledges the contributions of African Americans to the growth of Alexandria. Other sculptures throughout the park commemorate historic African American neighborhoods. On June 17, 1995 the Norfolk Southern Corporation dedicated the park to the City of Alexandria.

This park may be rented for events through the Alexandria Black History Museum.
