Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park — Attraction in Denver

Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park was dedicated on Veterans Day, November 11, 2022. It was formerly known as Lincoln Park (and once as Liberty Park, I believe). This contemplative space sits between the State Capitol grounds and Denver's Civic Center Park, but is a separate entity and a State, not a City, park.

The main features are the Colorado Veterans Monument, the Colorado Fallen Heroes Memorial, the Liberty Bell replica, and the new (April 2023) General Maurice Rose Monument.

The Veterans Monument is an obelisk designed by Robert Root and Richard Farley. It was dedicated on Veterans Day, November 11, 1990. It rises 30 feet and is built from Lyons red sandstone. There is a beacon at the top. Five brass plaques show the emblem of each branch of the armed forces.

The Fallen Heroes Memorial was dedicated on November 6, 2021. It was designed by Rosenman Associates Architects in consultation with the Veterans Monument designers. It honors the Coloradans killed during World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Persian Gulf War, and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

The General Rose Monument was dedicated on April 16, 2023. It was sculpted by George Lundeen. General Maurice Rose was killed in action at the end of World War II. He was the highest-ranking officer to be killed in Europe during the War. He was the most decorated tank commander in American history. He accepted the first major surrender of Axis troops to American forces, he led the first invasion of Germany from the west and was the first to breech the Siegfried Line, the first to capture a major German city, and the first to advance more than 100 miles in a day in U.S. military history. General Rose grew up in Denver, served in both World Wars I and II, and was the highest-ranking Jewish soldier in...

Very nice park right by the state Capitol. But park is full of addicts and someone injecting themselves with things in front of children. There was also trash, syringes, and tents everywhere. What a shame on the state and city leaders, this park is beautiful and should be respected...
