Very educational. We had a private tour of the sight with a retired petty officer of the navy. He told us all about how they retire nuclear subs. The sail of the retired Triton sub is physically there at the park,as well as informational displays about the Triton nuclear sub which has been decomitioned from service.
Hidden gem in Richland. Very beautiful area and interesting as well.
Its only open for tours during special events, however it is right next to a really steep hill on the bike path... And a supposedly crazy radioactive building. Dont hop that fence!
Interesting history, fun trails nearby.
Fun little park to learn some quick history about submarines and to see a con tower. I heard that you can get inside it from time to time but for the most part its really quick stop. No water to place to sit no facilities. So... yeah the novelty wears of quick and then you leave. Most fun as a turnaround spot for a nice run or bike ride.
While this is a small park it is more of a memorial. Every submarine had a different mission and there are several of these around the country each with a different significance. This one is particularly unique and is was the only submarine of this type and its location is near the area where the reactor compartments are removed from the barge and sent to their final resting place.Its also located near the campuses of some of the finest research laboratories in the country.Below along the river is a gazebo with a table for a quick bite or just to look out over the river. Its a pleasant walk from WSU Tri-Cities to here.
This is an absolute hidden gem in the tri cities. Bring your phone you will want to take pictures. Look on YouTube for a cool video about thos place.
First sub to navigate the globe completely submerged.
Cool submarine info
Nice walk
Extremely cool, almost hidden piece of history!
Always love to stop during our cycle rides. Fascinating pics of industrial art.
Awesome to have something like this right here at home.
Nice to see Triton submarine ... World largest one..
Its pretty but why cant we have the monument open?? Like we wanna see the inside. And the concrete around the whole sub?? Ridiculous
Great information about our history!
Ironically peaceful.
Cool, great trail to it.
Cute little park with part of the Submarine USS Triton there. I feel that not enough people know about this little park.
I had a great time on a private tour with my Dad. He enjoyed it very much
I full blown sub sail. Its an awesome sight to see, great starting, halfway point out finishing spot for a walk, run or bike ride. The Port of Benton even sets up tours of the inside. Go check it out. It is a piece of history for sure, being from the submarine that followed Magellans route submerged.
Very interesting but not much to see. The history of the sub is layed out very well on the information boards. Its parked near a very large launch ramp that was used for secret launchings on the Columbia of other vessels, but you have to dig for that info.
Its a neat little bit of history tucked away in Richland
Great history and information
It was cool
Very nice small park with some neat information about the submarine sail. It is cool to be able to touch history. I really wish they would allow entry into the sail from time to time because I would love to see inside!
A nice park
This has very cool. I read about this boat as a kid, and at that time it was the largest. The sail is huge.
Nice bit of local and nuclear history.
Awesome piece of history
It was great to see it up close. We really enjoyed our visit
Call the Port of Benton to arrange a tour of the inside of the sail - its really amazing to see the controls of a 1960s sub.
Great memorial for sub vets.
Watching the reactor compartment come in
I didnt know this was considered a park. This is just our normal turn around point when riding bicycles from Clover Island.
Neat history right here in tri cities.
Pretty cool! Great addition to North Richland
Nice little bit of history kind of cool but not much to it. Theres a little trail that you can follow to the river for a walk or bike ride.
Pretty cool. I hear there are tours but havent done one yet.
I was quite surprised to stumble upon this during my jog.
Interesting history, and in the middle of the desert...
Cool piece of history. Take the tour if you go.
A nice trip back in time
It is souch fun looking at that sub.
Not much to see
Cool place
Beautiful Scenery
Very interesting and a very nice cycle ride.
Nice monument for a quick stop and on a walking route.
Nice to see such a historic piece of the Nuclear Navy and the cold war right here in the TC. They even offer scheduled tours of the sail.
Beautiful day for a nice walk
Boarding, nothing to do!
An awesome piece of history!
Very small park with sub sail in it
So cool
Neat!
Great memorial in an exceptional location.
Interesting piece of history!
Very nice place
A little disappointing, its not what you expect...
Love this conning tower... History!
Great historical artifact
Great monument
