    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.

    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!!

    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.

    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.

  • 5/5 ken c. 4 years ago on Google
    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.

    Very very nice!!!

  • 5/5 Diane S. 4 years ago on Google
    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.

    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.
