    This park is absolutely amazing! I'm not even in the military and I got emotional walking around. Each memorial is well made and well taken care of. The wall is incredible! All those names will never be forgotten. The small lake in the middle is peaceful and filled with ducks. Gorgeous scenery with deep emotional impact. 10/10 would recommend

    Really great memorial. Everything from the Revolutionary War Minutemen to the Global War on Terror is represented. Each exhibit is presented with such detail, it’s very well displayed and laid out. Especially loved the eagle gripping the World Trade Center piece that began the War on Terror. The Purple Heart, Vietnam, WWI, WWII and Korean War Memorial were great also. The clock in the center is great. Whole thing is top notch and great way to honor those who have sacrificed.

    It was an absolutely amazing experience!! It is a memorial that true has its spot up there with the national memorials I’ve been too. The monuments and memorials cover all the major wars. They have a revolutionary minuteman minute. The Son’s of the American Revolution were involved in this one. The engraved WWI memorial was very elegant, it is showing some age though. Wall South was very touching. Then I visited the Purple Heart monument. It was well done. I continued into the Korean War display it was excellent and had tablets inscribed with the different heroes of the war. Next as I was walking I ran into Stan. He was cleaning up the ground of a newly installed monument. He began a friendly conversation about the park. I learned he was a veteran, but additionally how much he does to make this park run. Their is a whole crew of guys keeping this wonderfully maintained. It’s really hard to believe it’s going on thirty years old. They take extreme care of all the monuments. I also visited the Gold Star family memorial. Stan shared several excellent stories about his time with Woody Williams while the ground was broke and during fundraising!

    Veterans Memorial is a tribute to those who have served their country and gone on before us. This day was the dedication of two new bronze sculptures created by Randy New representing many years of marine and service from our dedicated military. From the helicopter to the beautiful bronze statues, the walk through the park is a wonderful experience with the quiet lake and fountain to the wall of names. Truly a place to visit in Pensacola.

    What a nice memorial park. Very well maintained, clean & pretty. The artwork & monuments to honor veterans of all military services for the last 100 years is respectful & tastefully presented. Definitely worth the stop. Saw a family picnic along the well manicured lake shore watching the water spray of the fountain, water fowl & other birds. Then across the street by the waterfront was a memorial for missing children. A jewel by the waterfront.

    Probably the best veterans park I've ever seen. Easy in and out parking. Beautiful pond and grounds around it. Not too small and not very big. Beautiful bronzes around the southeast side.

    Definitely worth stopping and walking around. Seeing all of the names really makes you appreciate our military. There is a pond full of ducks and turtles, military statues, and beautiful plants. If you cross the hwy, there is a nice view of the water.

    We stopped in here because we had some time before our flight home. I’m so glad we did! What a beautiful park. So well done, so informative and referent. It’s obvious that Pensacola honors the men and women that have served our country.

    Truly a memorial park honoring veterans. No wheels to dodge or playground to distract from reflection and remembrance. Sections are nicely separate while also flowing together very nicely. Don't get tricked by the lovely portable facilities though. They are only open during events.

    Absolutely love this park. Covers most war eras. Plenty of parking. Sidewalk trail around the park. Porta potty available. The water fountain in the pond is a nice touch. Ducks in the pond. Information Center with brochures and a QR code. Benches around the exhibits.

    This was a very nice dedication to our beloved veterans. Very peaceful and a nice place for a walk and relax as you stroll through the memorials

    Great memorial park. There's an man-made lake there where you can find some ducks and a lot of turtles. The Lake has a sidewalk around it for walking around. The memorials are photogenic as well as peaceful and spread out. I love coming here to stroll around.

    It's one of the best parks in the area - definitely worth the visit. The park itself is always nice and clean, and the memorials are all very well-maintained. There is also a nice trail around the pond - perfecting for a nice stroll or a jog!

    Pretty cool spot on the coast. I went there for the Huey Cobra but stayed for a walking tour of the neighborhood, nice area!

    The park itself has a multitude of different memorials, with a central pond being the main focal point. There is lots of nearby community rejuvenation, making the park feel much safer during the day than it once did. This is a good place to pay respects, have a picnic, go for a walk, or just reflect. There are temporary bathrooms. Parking can get full during peak times.

    The pond here is awesome and the ducks come right up to you. They have some really cool history to read at various places throughout the perimeter of the park. You see people here walking their dogs, people enjoying their lunch break, walkers and runners, bike riders, and all types of wildlife around. It's set just across the road from the coast line so you can see the beautiful pensacola bay and the new 3 mile bridge and if you go there in the night you'll see the amazing lights the bridge has. On one side of the park they even have a helicopter that had to have been flown In a war because it has actual bullet holes in it. You should go check it out if ever given the chance.

    Great park dedicated to veterans from Pensacola area with memorial built for all veterans including Korean War. Nice walk built around the lake for a good evening walk with dogs. Not very well lit for a night walk but you can carry a flash light in case required. Didn’t see any public restrooms. Right opposite Hilton Garden Inn. Parking available at entrance for about 8-10 cars. Street parking available nearby too.

    This is one of the most well designed and maintained veterans parks I have visited. There are memorials to soldiers from the Revolutionary War, World War I, World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, the Gulf War and the War on Terror. Most of the monuments are beautifully sculpted. Truly a humbling and peaceful place.
