This is a great park to take your family. Theres a small playground but what really stands out is the footbridge over the water and a dam right there. Its an easy place to fish from as well. Theres a nice long paved walkway along the river too.

Beautiful park, well-kept and clean. Great place for a picnic as long as you dont mind it usually being windy from the river, or geese.

One of many nice parks in Monroe. The dam and waterfall make for a beautiful area to watch the weather and snap photos. Great running/walking path connects Veterans Park to others and parallels the Raisin River.

This is an awesome little park. It has a massive waterfall in it playgrounds, fishing area, places to sit and watch the wildlife or just have a picnic with the family. Everyone always has fun here especially exploring along the walking path they have which takes you up close to the waterfall. You can also go down to a special display section which tells you about Veterans Park. It is a quiet, serene place with many areas in it. so much that even if kids are screaming at the park there are areas to be enjoyed in peace. Everyone from babies to seniors love it here. There is always something to do even if its just tossing rocks into the water. .

Good park to walk, sit at a bench or picnic in the sun or beneath the open pavilion. Well manicured. Clean. Littles play areas and bridge over water lovely spot.

Review №42

Some upgrades to the kids amenities would be awesome. Not much for them to do. Bathrooms are clean and useable. The view of the river and the other attractions are great, but if you have kids looking for good swings and slides look elsewhere.

I never understood how this little stretch of grass between the sewer river and flipping Custer Rd could be considered a park. More like, a fancy sidewalk really, with some flags.

Review №61

Always a good time and a Very Clean park. Its pleasant and peaceful. A lot of people bring food or go get ice cream from Independent Dairy down the road. A good place to park and watch the river. There are play stations for the kids and you can go fishing, too. There is wildlife: birds, squirrels, ducks, geese, swans, fish, bunnies. My only complaint: You can not always use the parks public Restrooms. Sometimes they are locked for the day; I dont know if they just forget to unlock them, or what.

Review №68

I like the park itself,nice to look at and hear the water, birds and ducks around. what wasnt great was the people who were giving ugly looks because I was there. Its a shame that people are still racist=ignorant. It didnt phase me, Im so much better than that. Im not moving in the neighborhood, I just came for a visit at the park. I will be back to visit, Like it or not.

They have turned this park into a top notch family destination. I love what theyve done with the fish ladder around the dam.Update 3/2020They keep making great improvements. There is now a full new playground, very cool.

Ja
Review №71

Excellent scenery, great hours, the fish ladder is beautiful and there are really interesting toys (musical!) for the kids to play with. Covered canopies & a nice riverwalk. The monuments are tasteful and extraordinary. Easily one of the best parks in Monroe.

A clean, well maintained park to visit or go for a walk with family or friends. Sometimes we just like to park and eat in the car. Being near the river is relaxing. Lots of ducks and geese to watch.

Actually a nice place, just a bit lacking in playground equipment. Some of the public grills in rough shape. Great place for a stroll with better half but watch out for the geese.

I may be biased because I work for the City of Monroe Parks Crew, but I really do like this park. Its also about to get much better next year when the new Parks Master Plan is implemented. For now, I like the new fish passage around the dam and walking across the bridge to the new natural grassland area is nice as well.
