Bayview Park — Attraction in Key West

I love to spend a little time here when I go to Key West. I try to pick up any trash or wayward palm fronds if I see them lying around. This time I picked up some Big Gulps out of the bushes but the Parks Department does a good job with it. I enjoy walking around there and reading the tribute to veterans sitting on the band stand steps, talking to other people who might be there, and people watching. This is an interesting place to spend some time and not be doing a whole lot...

The veterans memorial is why I give five stars... Well worth going to remember those that fought and died for our country. The plaques are very well made, easy to read, and informative. I never realized which war claimed the most American lives until seeing this one memorial. I won't spoil it by telling you, but it's worth visiting for sure. Very somber feeling, but relaxing in a way.

Notably the monument area was well kept (pressure washed, teak benches) but could...

We visited during the Annual Key West Seafood Festival. YUMMY 😋!! Great live bands playing a variety 👌 of types of music. Each one better than the one who played before 🎼🎸🎷🎵 Alcoholic beverages galore, And lots of specialty items up for sale. The seafood is expensive, plus the festival cost $5.00 to get in. The 💰 proceeds go to charity. It's not a very large park, yet it does have two well-kept 🎾 tennis courts. (if helpful, please"like")...
