It was nice to wander around on a drive and take a quick walk through this middle of the road park

Fantastic walk, particularly for those with limited mobility on the south side loops. The bridges might be a challenge but they are optional. The upgrades and maintenance has been great but I wish there were more trash cans. Theyve recently replaced the dam and the pools are low and the paths are dry (save for a few icy spots). The north loop is still flooded and Im not sure they can dam that area but the south loop is plenty big.Amenities:Fishing(ice fishing also)BenchesTrash cansCement pathsInformational plaquesFree parking

Lovely park, always well kept and the hard work the county put in truly shows. There are brand new signs in the center and the antique guns have been refinished. The bridges are a bit bumpy, so maybe not entirely wheelchair friendly, but besides that it is an absolute lovely little nature walk spot.

They did a great remodeling job. My father. Grandpa and uncles plaques are still there right by the bridge. Other than being between the busy causeway its a good place to walk and check out. Love LOVE the willow tree.

Beautiful Park Three Bridges Crossing water. New parking lots they just got done cleaning And redoing the whole park unfortunately the goose poop makes it very difficult to Traverse without getting it in your shoes may I recommend you bring a pair of boots or spare shoes with a couple Meijer bags,paper towels especially if youre going to bring kids not joking the poo poo is that bad. Crossing the road to access the bird sanctuary on the Muskegon Lake Side .

Its a great place to take a walk or just enjoy nature. Several memorials and plaques with soldiers names line the sidewalk. There are usually geese around depending on the season and possibly other wildlife

Its a nice park when its not submerged in water.

While the renovations were much needed, they maybe didnt account for the water table, as it floods regularly. There are parts of the sidewalk that are inaccessible.

Great fishing on the riverside on the right side. We always try to go fishing on our days off. Recommend it for kids easy fishing

Only way to make it better would be a place for kiddos to play

My family spent lots of money to have plagues out for our Veterans. Since the flooding they are in horrible shape & can barely be read. Not just ours but many others around the park. I feel these should be replaced or cleaned up.

Review №31

At this point in time I feel that I have to lower the rating for the simple reason. t The renovation that started 2 yrs.ago has caused so much flooding that it is ridiculous. It is also shameful that a veteran park has been desecrated in such a way.

Review №32

Not a great use of taxpayer money. This is a difficult place to stop at. The care and maintenance of this location were not thought out well and now a majority of the public pathways are under water. This has nothing to do with veterans, but just an observation on how this park maintained.

A lot of money was spent, a lot of work was done, and you should see it now. WHAT A MESS. The park was so very nice, good place to spend some time and think of all those who gave all. Then there came the great new design. Get the engineering figured out, developers a plan and move ahead. If what we see now is the pride of some engineering firm, you may want to second guess hiring them for your project. The park is now an eyesore and every day as I drive by I am angry at what I see. All the dirt they took away should have been put around the ponds so the water doesnt flood the place. Who was thinking that one out????? If you are fixing the bridges and pour new concrete platforms, raise them up a little. Im no engineer but common sense tells most of us that the work and planning was a lot of work and little planning. This park is no longer a place of beauty.

Mostly under water due to the city changing the depth and inlet. Sad to see what was a beautiful park and memorial ruined.

Review №42

Beautiful Weeping Willows and monuments to veterans make for a peaceful setting. There are a few walking bridges that offer views of the entire park. However, they have recently drained the lake and replaced the rocky bottom. As part of the process, they removed the cattails and other vegetation that soaked the excess water. As of June 2018, the flooding has increased exponentially, making most of the south end inaccessible. Im hoping they plan to address this problem and make it a 4-5 star park once again.

Would be 5 stars if they could figure out their flooding problem in a permanent fashion.

Love this park. It is going through some significant upgrades, and had above average rain this spring, but summer is drying it out.

Veterans park is a very enjoyable spot for a walk. The walkway around the park is just under a mile long. If you venture over to the north side of the river that adds another half mile to the walk. Also fishing is available along the banks of the Muskegon river!Its not really a park for picnics but still a nice place to take kids and learn a little history.

Review №77

Nice walking trails and very beautiful location, but being it is inside the causeway, it is very loud so it make it hard for you to relax and reflect. Also, there is always a problem with geese at this park, which means that the trail is almost always cover with goose crap. The only saving grace is that its has a concentration of Niantic portals meaning you can play Ingress or Pokémon Go.

Aside from the epic amount of goose poop everywhere this is a nice tribute to our veterans.
