Where things stand

Feedback first. Then building.

Nothing is built yet. The plans start with what veterans tell us they would actually use.

  1. Now

    Online feedback pilot

    Veterans share which spaces they would use, how long they might stay and what accessibility needs the center should be designed for.

  2. Next

    Building

    Feedback from the pilot shapes the plans before anything is built.

  3. Later

    More recreation

    Planned sports for a later stage include a 20-bay golf driving range, golf simulators, tennis and badminton.

What we're hearing

In veterans' own words

Your feedback is shaping Legacy Point Oasis. As pilot responses come in, we'll share highlights here.

Coming soon

We only share comments from veterans who give permission on the pilot form, and every comment is reviewed before it's posted.

From our founder

I'm a Guyanese American U.S. Navy veteran. I've thought about what it would mean to come home to Guyana and find a place that understands life after military service. During a difficult visit, I found a calm, welcoming place where I could simply breathe, and I left feeling better. I'm building Legacy Point Oasis so other veterans can find that same calm, take care of themselves, enjoy what Guyana has to offer and feel at home while they're here.
