Besides it being a memorial park, its a nice little park nested in the middle of the town. I remember hanging out here, skipping school and just hanging out. Now, there are memorials and a playground.Not the druggie hangout it used to be, but still a great location for entrepreneurs to close their business deals here. If you get my drift.

This park is good for chilling place but watch for crack head at night time other then that its good park

Great place to relax. One of the best memorials Ive seen.

Its a nice park. only problem it seems to be a hangout for a lot of homeless people in the Auburn area other than that everythings fine its clean and seems fairly well maintained

Always take my dog here if it was maintained a little better and it had less garbage on the ground I would rate higher.

I have known this park for most of my life as I grew up in Auburn. I have seen various changes that this park has gone through. What I miss the most is the grown-up swing

Peaceful. Cute little playground. Nice building for events! And a nice little escape spot over in the squirrel park.

Nice place to walk around & see the history of this park.

I like being there because Im a Air Force Veteran and I have had friends Ive lost. They have some equipment there and paintings from all wars. Pretty Coool

Great space to rent for party. Full kitchen. Indoor/Outdoor space.

Just drove through as part of a Veterans Day vehicle procession

The owls were cool..

Great place for a picnic or dog walk

I can see where most of the other reviews for this park are coming from. This park did have a serious problem with Homeless openly living in it until recently. What changed? Pokémon Go.There are 7 Poké stops in this small park just big enough for a planned circuit to see them all refresh by the time you complete it and 10 total when considering the two short roads leading to the park. There are also 3 Gyms within short walking distance.Im not saying the homeless problem is completely solved, though it is getting better as the inflow of people and clustered Poké Stops with constantly active lures brings more people at all times of the day and evening. The police are showing up more often at random times as the park has become more used and it is very clean. I feel safe walking around here at evenings and the parking lot is constantly active.There is a basketball court and horse shoe boxes and a garden for relaxing on the opposite side. Public bathroom that closes at nights and a clubhouse to rent out. The park is also adjacent to the local high schools football and soccer field.Now, I would be remiss if I did not mention that this park is dedicated to our veterans. There are memorial plaques honoring fallen community members who died for our freedom throughout the park, a mural and even old artillery and a Nike Ajax rocket on display. I did as much justice with the pictures as the lighting allowed, Ill replace some of them in future updates.

Had a blast with the kiddos and met some really cool parents of some other awesome kids. It is perfect for all ages. They have a split park from toddlers and older kids

We attended a friends daughters birthday party in August, and the party went very well and the kids were happy. I would give give stars but at the time of our visit, the door on the bathroom stall was messed up, and the only wheelchair accessible stall the door was broken altogether. Its also not overly wheelchair accessible in general, but its a park so I expect that to be the case more often than not.

The tank is cool. But the playground is super disgusting. Didnt even want my son playing there. Plus my son was bored with it anyway.

Dirty needles and junkies swarm this park. Not what it used to be.

Home of the Largest Vet Parade West of the Mississippi!!!

Great spot to relax and enjoy washington and what they have for veterans on memorial like a decommissioned tank and what not

Its a beautiful place where you can sit & be at peace. The Memorial Day Ceremony was very nice & the people were kind. We really enjoyed it. If you want to honor your veteran this is the place to go.

I grew up in this town and went to the highschool across the street, whose football field & track stadium makes up the eastern edge of this park. (As did my parents, all my aunts & uncles, all but 2 of my cousins, and almost all of the family friends I grew up around.) The park has been updated a few times over my lifetime. Gone now are the old metal toys and animal shapes that spewed (or dribbled!) water at the push of a button, and in their place are newer, probably safer, and apparently drier toys for park goers. But there is also a lovely mural on the park side of the cement stadium bleachers for Troy Field (Auburn Trojans, hats off to thee!), each one a vignette of Americans in war throughout the ages. And there is a multi-arch memorial for all of Auburns soldiers lost in battle, a bakers dozen of names I know, at least the surname. It makes the park more personally valuable, having the touchstones of some of my oldest memories to school to now right here in one lush relaxing place. Much love Auburn Veterans Memorial Park!

Nice little park right in the middle of an urban area great place for a day picnic

Wide open spaces in this park, seems nice, quiet, not too crowded.

Park was looking nice & well kept up. Very lovely. I go e it 4 shooting stars. Perfect weather today and this evening~

Went to a meeting here for aa/na

Very nice I have been there for several family get together

It is a nice park. Simple but fun to bring the kids. I walk my dog here regularly. It has some nice memorials to our men and women in the armed forces!

Great little banquet hall/room you can rent and stay cozy and dry.

Its got two one way streets to enter/exit on the west and a south road. Ita a park with a tank gun a missile a monument with all branches of the military trees grass squirrels picnic tables bathrooms and lots of space and parking spots

Awesome place to play Pokemon go wizards unite and Minecraft earth

Great place

Its really a nice park, but they have all the restrooms locked up and thats not very nice to all of us disabled Veterans.

Great park. Also nice time if you play Pokemon Go

Nice park. The homeless people dont seem to bother anyone.

Kinda rundown, boring and too many homeless people which brings a heavy police presence that can be discomforting. Also buildings are locked up all the time preventing one from learning of the memorial by random visitors. Needs a little upgrading & TLC.

Beautiful on sunny day.

Great park during the day, though lots of homeless people sleeping or doing drugs. Went to go to the bathroom to find 2 men in the womens bathroom fighting. Got out of there quickly. Park is near police station down the street so I do see officers drive threw every few hours.

Needs to be cleaned up a little bit more but ok place to go if you leave in Auburn. Also homeless people are all over and no one picks up there poop if there dog defecate anywhere.

This is a very cool park that honors the service of all United States veterans

I use to play football here as a kid. Always liked playing our rivals Auburn Elks, here in their home stadium. Especially when we set the record of eight sudden death overtime plays. We won!Cascade Cougars/Benson Bruins 89ers. Lol. Still like to go and watch the little guys play 40+ years later.

I think that Veterans Memor...park is one of the nicest park for its size any were Ive seen in wash. State.in fact i would love to own a home , and there isent many to own there . Pictures are to fallow soon

Nice walk for Poke stops... 7 spins in about a 5min circle. Just in time to spin again

Beautiful and easily accessible. Dogs welcome.

Very serene atmosphere once inside, which is a miracle considering its barely off of Auburn Way. Old, beautiful trees swaying in the breeze, plenty of lawn to walk, lay, picnic and spaces to reserve for special events

Peaceful and quiet while no games playing at stadium, a peaceful feeling for those that gave their all for America !

Good relaxing place to be when you wanna get away from EVERYTHING!!!!

Clean, fun toys, clean bathrooms, not a lot of kids there but a few grown ups hanging around smoking...kind of gives the place a sketchy feel.

A shady and quiet place to have a nice day.With ~7 pokestops and a Gym, its also a great pitstop for Trainers.

Equipment for kids is sort of rough with moss on paint and spinning toys could use greasing. Still fun for kids and nothing dangerous from what we saw.

Its a fun and generally quiet place to take the kids.

Beautiful little park with a baseball field next door. It has come to my attention though. That drug use and drinking has become very common at this park now. During the day and night. Very disappointing.

This park is nice and has so much potential.Although lately people are leaving there garbage around there. I think it would be nice toThe park and invite people to form aCleaning party to clean the beautiful veterans park that the vets deserve !

Great place for Pokemon Go

Great place. Not to big but nice

Cute park with several memorials, pickniking, and a play area for kids. Also happens to be a great spot for playing Pokemon go!

It was raining and theres no roofed shelter

Nice place for like picnic, walk or take kids.

Dont make a Memorial Park if you cant keep it safe from the bums and the Junkies veteran I am

Dont waste your time! We took time to drive down and check the place out before we rented the hall for our sons birthday party and when we arrived, not only was there was garbage all over the ground but there were like 15 homeless people, with all of their belongings, who are clearly calling this place home.

This would be a great park, but it made me a little uneasy with transients hanging about. There seemed to be playgrounds and a school and stadium nearby. There are also places to have a picnic and some historic memorial landmarks here. It also looks like theres an enclosed venue space you can rent if you want.

I know a lot of people dont get about places like this but people like me that actually get a chance to stop by and find parks randomly here and there this was a great Park give me a chance to learn some history thank you for the people that put forth your life their families and its Park was dedicated through those women and men of are country

A Spiritual Experience!

Playground and picnic tables and a tank kids climb into and see what an old tank looked like.

The park seemed clean, the womens restroom has two stalls with NO DOORS, clean, but no doors. I assume bc of the people who want to use the bathrooms for reasons not intended? i.e....drug activity. I noticed a guy coming to clean & lock up both restrooms when it started to get dark. They have a Honey bucket there. (with a door )

Nice shaded park

Beautiful new colorful flowers were planted by the Auburn Garden Club members around the Blue Star Marker for people visiting the park in coming weeks.

Nice. Quiet place near downtown

This park used to be a great place to go for picnic or just to hang out in the sun and read a book. Now there are so many homeless people hanging out that the only people that go there are those that are playing Pokemon Go.

Nice little walk for a nice little talk

The park itself is beautiful, unfortunately overran with addicts shooting up in the bathrooms non stop. If you dont need to use the facility than by all means go and enjoy, play area for kids, replicas of fighters, tanks and other war equipment. Beautiful park.

Nice facilities, and play equipment. Several homeless camping in the park, became annoyed by the noise of the children playing. So we left.

Lovely park with nice meeting structure. There were quite a few homeless people smoking pot and being pretty aggressive.

Great park. Always clean and lots of friendly folks come by. You can call and rent the center for events too.

Came here for the shade. Tried to use the mens restroom. Too bad there was a squatter in there. Made it so nobody could use it.

We had a picnic with family.

Clean quite and a nice place to visite history

Pretty park, nice playground area. Clean bathrooms. Have been harassed by the hangabouts a few times while walking dog so not my favorite place when they are there.

My favorite park in Auburn

Great place

Open. Never crowded. Good for a picnic on a blanket or a nap.

Nice place to relax

I love this park. Ive been coming here for years.

Snowy and muddy kind of nice but people left garbage laying around.

Very nice tribute to Vets

Very peaceful and lots of squirrels

Very well kept but it could use an officer or two to keep some scetchy homeless out. I just wouldnt want my kids around unless your rite by them at all times.

Nice park, calm and peaceful. Great atmosphere to think about the sacrifice of our soldiers.

Some homeless/ drugs around that place, other than that nice place for a picnic

Beautiful park with a wonderful tribute. I love the serenity here

Tanks or so cool

Nice park with a lot of trees, the memorials they have to honor our vets is beautifully designed

Oh my God its been a long time since ive felt this unsafe. Little girls smoking meth in the bathroom, drug deals everywhere. Disgusting.

Love the idea of this park but to many druggies and homeless people. Garbage everywhere.

Almost witnessed a gang fight while we stopped to use the bathroom here. There is an old tank and a missile but nothing else. Not worth stopping for.

Everytime I walk through, there are one or more unsavory characters hanging about. I could swear there was a drug deal going down as I walked by yesterday

Another great place in Auburn!

So very awesome!

Nice park. Been there a long time.

Other than the hobos who live there, its a nice park.
