The Imperial Parade Grounds was a location on the planet Cardassia Prime which was situated in Lakarian City. This once magestic and elegant place was the site where heroes and truimpts of the Cardassian Union were commemorated with martial music underscoring great rhetoric as it echoed throughout the monuments. In 2380, after the events of the Dominion War, it served as a gathering place for the volatile remnants of the Cardassian civilization as they attempted to rebuild their race.
