The Vietnam Veterans Memorial is an outdoor memorial located on the western end of the National Mall.

As visitors approach the front entrance of the memorial, the ground surface changes from a sidewalk to a level stone path with brick surface surrounding it on either side. The bricks can be slightly uneven and have gaps. The stone path may be slippery when wet. The pathway is about 6 feet wide.

There are benches around the memorial for convenience.
