This is a park right across the river from downtown Galena. You can get there via bridge over the river - or there's parking on the eastern side. There's a hill from the main entrance on the east side of the river to get to the top - with great views of downtown Galena. This is such a nice park. There are paved walkways that take you through the park There are a number of benches various views. There's a gazebo, a statue of Grant, historic cannons/howitzers, a water fountain, a playground for small kids, and a basketball court. Can be a good place to just relax.

Park is nice, but is also in need of some repairs. They have various cannons throughout the park, but most of the informational signs by them were damaged or difficulty to read due to being weathered or damaged (see pics). The fountain near the center of the park was very large and ornate, but had only about a trickle of waterflow. I imagine it was quite impressive at one time, but for some reason (maybe age or disrepair), it lacks any water pressure. This park has some great features and some great potential, just needs some renewed attention and a few repairs.

Split the corned beef and swiss sandwich and coleslaw with my mom and it was fabulous! Seriously. Simple but truly good. Hands down the best I've had. The corned beef had a delicious flavor and so tender. I can't rave about the coleslaw enough. Just the right amount of ingredients not too sweet, not too mayo-ee, not too creamy, not too vinigor-ee. Perfect. The chef came out and made sure everyone was happy with their meals as well. Great staff. Next time we will try the corned beef brisket.

Grant Park was amazing peaceful place to stroll even with kids. Kids, loved the bridge and the canons and the fountain and the walk. Check out the pictures to understand the beauty of this place. Words can not do justice to the park. Parking along both side of the river as well. On the east side of river parking is free and a walk over the bridge to the main street where the shops and restaurants are. Enjoy. I know we will be back again.
