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.
Nice park. Not too extravagant, but they do have swings. Id recommend.
Gorgeous view of the Raisin River. Monuments are nice & well maintained. Small playground for the kiddos.
Pleasant atmosphere with nice river views. Connects for easy walk/bike downtown or via river path to Munson park. Easy parking.
The city has definitely upgraded this park. Very happy to see the changes
Veterans park is always a great place to eat lunch, it is peaceful and we love watching the birds .
Nice park with a good walk/bike trail and picnic area and playscape but be aware the restrooms are NOT open
Walking path is nice. I enjoy walking along the river.
Nice.small park in the town I grew up in. Love the waterfalls.
I love going there its one of my favorite
Nice place to sit and relax. Also to honor those who served our country
Real nice vets place for ex vets and everyone to visit
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. .
Peaceful place to have lunch with my husband
Its a great place to take your family .
Nice place to sit back and enjoy nature.
It was fine. But no tables or places to sit because of the corona.
Pleasant place for families, friends or on your own.
Love to see the wildlife and just relax by the water
Their restroons were closed. I watched many people try to use them to no avail.
Beautiful park, very peaceful by the water.
Always cleaned and updated, nice walkway right next to river and sitting area by the dam
Great clean place for walks and the kids
Very clean and well maintained. Walking trails, fishing opportunities, childrens play area, pavilion, peaceful and quiet whenever I visit in the mornings. Nice park. Monroe does parks well.
Not a lot of shade but is a nice walk or picnic area
Nice, quiet place. I love bringing my daughter here for picnic lunches during the nice weather.
Beautiful place to go.
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.
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.
Clean and Quiet, with lots to see and read.
I love the bridge by the damn. Great place to watch ducks, geese, and seagulls. My daughter love going for all the Pokemon Go stops. :)
Passing by, found this beautiful riverside park...definitely worth to sit by and watch the river run through, makes it a romantic spot!
Love to eat and watch the ducks and geese. Also love to go for walks here.
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.
Its calming and nice, good for walking and taking babies, young children you have to keep an eye on there but its nice. They have a special play space for children and they have a swing made for a parent and a child. Its a nice place with nice people in it, lots of nats though
A nice place to eat your lunch before going to work
Nice and relaxing! Love the sounds from the water.
Very nice and kept clean. Beautiful view here worth the cost.
Only park I know where you can swing with your baby! Its also the perfect distance from Independent Dairy!
My daughter loves the swings so the attached adult and baby swing is perfect!! My son on the other hand just loves the playground lol
I just left from here Ive been there since 8pm a girl Ive been seeing told me about the place so i took her there to watch the sunset while we sat at the waterfall but its really clean & simple i like it....... Not to much or to little, Its just enough there to keep you.
Really nice place to bring lunch and enjoy some scenery
Great place for walking around with my dog
Beautiful park, nice place to go for a short walk and relax.
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.
Gets better all the time ..n Ive been there a lot. I gather n picnic with friends..n take walks
It was nice out tat day an I enjoyed the park with my little Brandi.
Nice place to eat lunch. Nice view of river
Very beautiful place lots of Wildlife great place to people-watch just hang out and have a good time
My grandson loves going there to play and throw rocks in the river.
A great little park by the water
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.
Very nice park lots of stuff for the kids to play on beautiful Riverview. it also has a little peninsula that goes out with a small Creek that goes around it very nice and the waterfall is beautiful also!
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.
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.
Have everything you need the staff very knowledgeable
Beautiful place to walk, have a picnic with the family. Nice scenery of River Raisin.
Its a wonderful place to get good food
Beautiful view, small park area for the kids, a nice walking path, what more could you ask for?!
Its okay. Not much for kids. Nice shaded area to eat though.
Nice little park. Very clean n great place to have a walk. Would of given it 5 stars, but the play area for the kids is a wreck. I wouldnt let my child near it cause it very hazardous!
Grass should be cut shorter but overall pretty nice.
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.
Narrow park along the river. Nice view and path along the river.
This is a nice place by the river to enjoy some quiet reflection.
Would be nice if they actually took care of the park
Really pretty park and the riverwalk is awesome.
Beautiful park watching the water
Serene and relaxing for a short evening stroll!
Its a nice place to go and relax and enjoy family time
Beautiful place too sit and relax.
Nice place
Beautiful park that is well maintained and great for a picture background.
Great place to relax just of the main strip.
Nice pet friendly walk along a beautiful river.
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.
I love it . And bathrooms are very clean.
Nice - clean - beautiful park. Thank you.
Quiet spot to meditate, pray, fish, picnic, play, or use the restroom.
A great place to go for a moment of reflection.
Nice ducks n geese. Urban Park
