Very well kept this beautiful memorial Park is a true tribute the veterans everywhere if you are in the Wichita are this is an absolute must see. Grounds a beautifully groomed. Great for teaching kids about the men and women who died protecting them. Please stop and pay your respects to those who died to keep you free.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I was so surprised at the level of dedication to our Veterans past and present. A friend of mine that was with me was in Vietnam and he told me a friend that he had that was killed and we found his name on the wall. He was very taken back when he saw it. He was very happy with the Memorial park so coming from a Veteran anyone who goes to this park should feel like we were on hallowed ground. Very impressed, it was beautiful.

Beautiful works of art and military history sits along a Riverside. Have no complaints. Best Ive seen as a matter of fact. Id say this area is cleaner and less busy than the WWII memorial out in Missouri.

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 monument is really lovely and informative. The one thing I would like is more lighting. Many monuments have a light on the American flag pole and this one is a bit shadowy and dark at night. (I walk the riverwalk at night so most of the things I visit down there need to be well-lit and not murder-y)

This is a great little park right along the river across from Exploration Place. It has some type of large stone, granite, or concrete memorial with names of Kansans who have given their lives in a conflict. It is an easy walk and has wide sidewalks for handicap accessibility to each memorial.

Review №34

This place is a place to ponder & realize who we need to be grateful to. Our military & government who allows foriegners into the country for a safe place to work & build homes for families who take refuge because they are blessed to do so.They fought for us & gave children of future generations the opportunity to live safe, work, become educated, & enjoy the beauty of many cultures in one country because we are one Nation under God.I hope we all realize the sensitivity & attention we need to give foreigners who come to the United States. They are children who have fear & we need to abolish their fear of us.I hope, that like the bald, we can take them under our wings & give them what we would want our children to have if they were foriegners alone in their country.

Beautiful Park located on the banks of the Arkansas River directly across from Exploration Place. Just take 10 minutes and stroll through the park to remember those who have served. Gold Star Mothers and POW/MIA memorials really tug at the heart strings. I celebrate the freedom that those veterans sacrificed. It is my honor to remember.

Review №53

As a handicap Veteran, I always enjoy visiting Memorial Parks in my travels. My cousin lives in Wichita and was kind enough to escort me there. I was so excited to see all the monuments and of course our Beautiful American Flags. Upon further review we noticed most of the flags were tattered. Needless to say as proud Americans, we were soooo disappointed that a city as beautiful as Wichita would allow this. Please show your respect and maintain The reason we are here in America. Dont let the Beauty of your creation be destroyed!

Much bigger than it looks online. There are tasteful & educational monuments dedicated to veterans dating all the way back to the revolutionary war - to include a POW-MIA monument. Many are inscribed with names of local service members who paid the ultimate price in service to our country.

I really like the Memorial Park except for a few things. The Vietnam, Korean, and Iraq/Afghanistan memorials do not have lights. The Vietnam memorial has an American flag that is not lit up at night. The WWII its very well lit and seems to get the most care. I think all of them should be treated equally. Its really a beautiful location for the memorial.
