Very Nice. Lots of names and history to see. Great place to start teaching kids about the sacrifices so many Americans have made. Wish some of the monuments were better updated or taken care of. Its hard in the city to maintain I know. Most we pretty cool.

A must see for everyone. Patriotism is represented from many angles in this amazing garden. Situated near a fantastic childrens playground and the Lincoln Childrens Zoo. There is no excuse for not spending the time to reflect on the service and sacrifice of our Veterans. There is even a memorial for the War Dogs!

This was nicely done. It helps to bring the scope of military service into the front of your mind. There are seperate monuments for each war/conflict, with names of the fallen from the area.

The Veterans Memorial Garden is a beautiful garden! If you like nature and lovely flowers is is your place! The garden changes from spring to fall. If you have questions about the plants or flowers there are enthusiastic docents there to answer your questions.

The Veterans Memorial Garden of Westland is a beautifully landscaped area.It is an honor to view this testament and memorial to the brave and valorous who have fought to defend our nation, our fortunes and, not least, our lives.Each of the major conflicts is noted at this location with accompanying text on the particular monument detailing the monumental deeds and courage of those involved. Included are the Revolutionary War all the way to modern times, including the War of 1812, the War with Mexico, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War, World War 1, World War 2, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, Iraq, Afghanistan and others.

This place should be visited at least once a year by every resident of Lincoln/Nebraska. Families should bring children and questions should be encouraged. Without exception each one of us need to remind ourselves of the ultimate sacrifices that have been made so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have.

A very naturally beautiful area set back inside a huge old City Park (for Lincoln it is considered quite large) called Antelope Park which also has one of the best bike paths i have ever known of and used frequently bcuz the same single path will get all the way east of Lincoln into a very very small but fun town and from my home it will allow you travel all the way through downtown and into the old railroad, now they call it the Haymarket and so many people regularly visit the area go to the best and biggest Farmers market every Saturday during the seasonal months.

The memorial garden and surrounding Antelope park is my favorite park in Lincoln. Its a very popular place for location-based games like Pokemon Go and Wizards Unite, so there are always a good number of people around.

Serine place to reflect and give thanks to our veterans. The different dedications are written in large lettering making it easy to see which branch of the military or which war the memorial is representing. The walking path is calm and I found it was a good place to teach my son about what our military has done in the past and how he can pay proper respects.

A fantastic memorial to those Nebraskans who have gone above anything anyone could have asked of them. Beautifully maintained memorial with dedications to every branch imaginable and more stones are added as more brave Nebraskans make their ultimate sacrifice.

A nice open space to run around, and a kids play area to be envied by all adults. Plenty of shelters and spaces to rent out for events, and enough trees to shade you if needed.The Veterans Memorial Garden is a beautifully laid out area, with quiet, dedicated niches in which to reflect and remember. Theres a marker for just about every possible branch, affiliation, and specialty.

Wanted to see where the smaller copy of the statue of liberty ended up. I suppose in the memorial garden is a better place for it than where it was last. However seems like the brown color is an odd choice.
