A nice park little park near the center of downtown GR. Generally frequented by homeless folks, but they obviously need somewhere to go, this is as good a place as any.

This place is so serene. It makes you forget time and space. I felt so tranquil when visiting. I wanted to just stay as long as I could to relax and clear my mind. Just cool out from all the hustle and bustle of the city.

The new reflecting pool is nice, I just wish the city would listen to the input from veterans about what should be in Veterans Memorial Park

Always clean, a great place to rest when exploring downtown or needing to pullover when exercising. 2 PokemonGo gyms, and beautiful at night.

As a combat veteran myself, was very moved by the beauty of this park. The purple heart memorial marker was very emotional for me, haven lost fellow brothers in arms during certain operations. Its nice to have a park here in Grand Rapids that honors veterans. Thank You.

Its a nice memorial. I like the pool as a calming touch but its not mind blowing in terms of memorials. Hard to rate it but its worth seeing if youre in town. Not something to go out of your way for.

This is a beautiful park . Its a great place to see all the names of all the men that made the utiment sacrifice for are country.The park has all the names of everyone who hase died in all our wars.Its rather surprising how many men that were lost in kent county all there names are listed there.The only bad thing i would say about the park was there were a few homeless liying around.

A nice park to memorialize those that have served in the US Armed Forces in the past. Stopping by the Veterans Memorial Park, 101 Fulton St E, Grand Rapids, MI 49503 is a nice thing to do in downtown.

Its nice but the water thing is dirty, ugly, and nasty. Its suppose to be for our veterans to remember them as a city but the place needs some cleaning and Im pretty sure that its family wouldnt appreciated.
