Reviews of Veterans Memorial Park

Sheena Youngers

Wonderful memorial to honor war veterans. It’s been well thought out and beautiful designed. I very impressed by this outdoor memorial. It’s located along the riverfront and a lovely tribute to those who’ve fought for our country. The memorial spans quite far and it’s easy to miss the tributes / monuments, since there are no clear pathways on to the next site. Each tribute tells the story documenting the journey of the war. I am especially fascinated by the monuments regarding the Korean War, which shows a map with dates in which our US troops entered the city country (it’s on the back side of the Korean War memorial). The only suggestion I’d make is to put up a directory / map of the entire memorial, or somehow more clearly define the path. Other than that, well done! And thank you to all the veterans out there for your service!!

Mary Halsig

Veteran’s Memorial Park is a beautiful tribute to the men and women who served their country and to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Today we held a ceremony at the Korean War Memorial. There were prayers and a dedication, the National Anthem, a gun salute, and Echo Taps. It was an honor to be present.

Scott Hoffman

Nice park on the bank of the river. Went there for the tolling of the boats ceremony and to say thanks for my freedom.

Mary Sendall

This is such a beautiful memorial to our fallen military. It honors all branches and the different wars they were lost in

Mr. B

Very well kept this beautiful memorial Park is a true tribute the veterans everywhere if you are in the Wichita are this is an absolute must see. Grounds a beautifully groomed. Great for teaching kids about the men and women who died protecting them. Please stop and pay your respects to those who died to keep you free.

Stacey Chaffin

This park was a lot of walking, but it was totally worth it. Wichita did a fabulous job showing love to our men and women who have served and their families. I highly recommend it. Beautiful and moving.

Kyle Fields

Very beautiful and well maintained. Unique ideas. There's more than I have pictured, but these were my favorites.. especially Vietnam

Asap Singh

Very nice place and reminder of the cruelty of war in worldwide. The memorial place is designed in a wonderful way we enjoyed being in that place.

Mark McRay

This is one of the best Veteran's parks in America, with lots of memorials for all kinds of different wars and miscellaneous topics.

Sarah 5 Star savage (broken_soulsavage)

It's was a great place to let the kids run stretch there legs and learn a bit about what those before us were protecting.

Alex Spencer

A lot more memorials than I thought. Nice spot to sit and reflect.

Whitechocolate Zaddy

Kept clean and nice. Great history lesson for anyone and also very emotional place. Great river walk area and Keeper of the plains is close by. Overall a good tourist destination.

Edy Rod

This place took me on a journey , can't say enough about why to visit except that everyone should take the time to experience such an amazing place.

Alicia Hoffman

This is a great tribute to our servicemen, and a great opportunity to teach some history to our children. Those who fought for us and our freedom should never be forgotten.

Karina (La Karina)

Beautiful spot to walk through definitely a sketchier part of town at night after the keeper turns off the fires I would stay around the statue

Holly Rodman

I had never been to this park before, we went walking around before the fire work show for our little girl and stumbled across this. It's right over by the exploration place. I did see a homeless man on a bench a few feet away which made it a little awkward for me, but other than that the equipment at this park was nice and the area was clean.

Angie Osborne

I was so surprised at the level of dedication to our Veterans past and present. A friend of mine that was with me was in Vietnam and he told me a friend that he had that was killed and we found his name on the wall. He was very taken back when he saw it. He was very happy with the Memorial park so coming from a Veteran anyone who goes to this park should feel like we were on hallowed ground. Very impressed, it was beautiful.

Tobey P

I go here often to walk my dog and play Pokémon Go. Nice paved sidewalks to walk on and different routes to take everyday of you want. I don't recommend going alone after dark, but that's just my personal opinion.

Shawndra “ohsoronery” White

Beautiful park along the river. Accessible paths, nice monuments, and peaceful. Very clean.

Kevin Miller

This is a beautifully sad place it is great to go and just sit and relax you know contemplate yourself and see some history stuff cuz they have areas for all the wars we've been in and then they got really cool area that has all the different flags that the United States has flown and a little story behind him so great place to go if you love history

Courtney Evans

Beautiful works of art and military history sits along a Riverside. Have no complaints. Best I've seen as a matter of fact. I'd say this area is cleaner and less busy than the WWII memorial out in Missouri.

Terri Welch

This is a great little park right along the river across from Exploration Place. It has some type of large stone, granite, or concrete memorial with names of Kansans who have given their lives in a conflict. It is an easy walk and has wide sidewalks for handicap accessibility to each memorial.

Janey Hadley

This monument is really lovely and informative. The one thing I would like is more lighting. Many monuments have a light on the American flag pole and this one is a bit shadowy and dark at night. (I walk the riverwalk at night so most of the things I visit down there need to be well-lit and not murder-y)

Barbara Scales

Beautiful and peaceful park. There is an air of solemnity and respect that fills the area. My 10 year old has learned a great deal by studying each monument and by listening to me read each plaque. Wichita is fortunate to have such a landmark.

Barkerby

Beautiful Park located on the banks of the Arkansas River directly across from Exploration Place. Just take 10 minutes and stroll through the park to remember those who have served. Gold Star Mothers and POW/MIA memorials really tug at the heart strings. I celebrate the freedom that those veterans sacrificed. It is my honor to remember.

Joshua Peters

I really like the Memorial Park except for a few things. The Vietnam, Korean, and Iraq/Afghanistan memorials do not have lights. The Vietnam memorial has an American flag that is not lit up at night. The WWII it's very well lit and seems to get the most care. I think all of them should be treated equally. It's really a beautiful location for the memorial.

Jerry Brady Jr

Amazing Memorial site. Very well maintained to honor those people who have served our country. Constructed on the side of the river walk so a great place to take the family for a stroll.

Stephanie C

Lovely tributes to our veterans. Many different memorials for different parts of the military. Clean and well maintained. You can tell it is a respected area.

Anutha Bubba

Im glad this is here. It would be better without a-holes desecrating the memorials or homeless living in the trees by it.

Alejandro Hernandez

I like this place. It reminds me of why I love living in the good ole USA. And of those who willingly served our country to the greatest extent that they could. So to all the brave men and women who have served and are serving thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Shawn Rhodes

I love to walk there at night and early mornings on the weekends and also workout.

Rob Cinder block

Very beautiful place and the keeper Is very nice I love when they light the fires it's really nice to sit and watch the fires and very good for taking pictures. house for something to be enough with a friend even rite email turned everything out early release day is everything else that email earlier this ì even earlier this morning right before I left for something that rbdhsudnxheifneuxndbdbrbxuf xjdbdh

ken christensen

Very quiet and somber location on The Arkansas River directly across from Exploration place. They have a location that depicts the history of all the flags that have represented the U.S. There are also numerous memorials that pay tribute to those who served as well as lost their lives in all of our past wars.

Diane Schawe

Worth spending time to visit, stroll, read, learn, and appreciate. Spans centuries and honors all of the veterans of the U.S. Be sure to see/visit all the memorials; they extend farther north than one might realize.

connor simmon

A beautiful park set right on the river walk that offers something for everyone. There's history, plenty of poketsops, and restaurants nearby. If you are looking to avoid high traffic areas I would skip this park at night.

Reaper Montanta

This place is incredible I take daughter's basically every weekend and also run through there, I just love the scenery.

Melissa Cheever

This place is a place to ponder & realize who we need to be grateful to. Our military & government who allows foriegners into the country for a safe place to work & build homes for families who take refuge because they are blessed to do so. They fought for us & gave children of future generations the opportunity to live safe, work, become educated, & enjoy the beauty of many cultures in one country because we are one Nation under God. I hope we all realize the sensitivity & attention we need to give foreigners who come to the United States. They are children who have fear & we need to abolish their fear of us. I hope, that like the bald 🦅, we can take them under our wings & give them what we would want our children to have if they were foriegners alone in their country.

Geneva Ely

Loved it. It was quite and well maintained. The sentiment for each branch, each war and every solider honored was touching. It caused me to reflect on how much our freedom truely cost. Thank you.

Aaron “Bulldog” Mackey

Hallowed ground for all the veterans, no matter what branch, no matter what war. It deserves our respect. I'm a Army Veteran myself from OIF.

Kris Holt

The memorials are a wonderful place to unplug, contemplate our history and those that served and gave their life in support of our country. The grounds are well kept and there are some great views of the river as well.

Thomas Radford

It is a bank of a river that has been built for the monuments for all wars fought by the colonies and the to present day conflicts .it is olso near the keeper of the plains statue. Nice to visit them both.

Reggie Keehn

I didn't know it was there until I went on the Riverwalk. It's very beautifully done and extremely moving. It's worth h seeing if you're visiting Wichita or a town nearby.

Cindy Streid

It is always nice to go walk around

Jessica Patti

Watched as someone threw 2 scooters into the water. Disrespectful. But otherwise, it is a great view and quiet.

Tamiaka Reed

My man and I enjoyed a late stroll on the river. Him having had served in iraq, is well equipped with war history. So it was very humbling. Ty Myles M

Mike Vaught

Great place to visit or just to walk through while you explore the Riverwalk, the Keeper of the Plains, Exploration Place, Delano, Old Town, or any of the other areas Wichita has been updating over the last few years. The new library is right nearby as well, although i havent visited it yet. There are a number of tastefull war memorials here to visit that commemorate those who fought and/or died in order to protect this country. These days I think reminders such as these are of even more importance so we never forget the amount of blood and tears shed to keep this country free.

Ami Acheson

Much bigger than it looks online. There are tasteful & educational monuments dedicated to veterans dating all the way back to the revolutionary war - to include a POW-MIA monument. Many are inscribed with names of local service members who paid the ultimate price in service to our country.

the walnut

A nice park that is laid out along the river front. Nicely maintained. Makes for a good stroll.

timothy crain

This is a nice little park tucked away in a nice, quiet area. Occasionally groups gather here to feed and distribute items for homeless folks and other people in need.

Cody VanDeest

This is an amazing memorial dedicated to the armed services of our country and it pays respects to our local veterans. Security needs drastic improvement in this area due to vandalism and high crime.

Georgetta clark

I love coming to this and pay my respects to the veterans to the people that have served our country for the wounded the fallen and the heroes that have made it through every single war we have had I just want to say thank you for everything you have done

Cory Coonrod

Hoo-yah. It's a Veterans Memorial so not super exciting but definitely neat to go check out if you've never been and a lot of pokestops and gyms near by.

Becky Stoppel-Justice

Did a nice walk around the park looking and taking taking pictures of all the different veterans statues and memorials and the Riverwalk, it was very nice and peaceful. Very well taken care of.

Emily Crain

Very nice clean park. Beautiful memorials to all veterans. A good educational outing for kids and a good place for a picnic!

Hassie Ezell

It was a nice park but there was some guy there blocking the entrance charging people $20 to park there

jeremy clark

Multiple veteran memorials with quick access to the Riverwalk and close to the keeper. The parking lot is a little hard to get in and out of but it usually has multiple parking spots open.

Marcela

Perfect place for a picnic. Or just to relax and enjoy the sounds of nature.
