It was an absolutely amazing experience!! It is a memorial that true has its spot up there with the national memorials I’ve been too. The monuments and memorials cover all the major wars. They have a revolutionary minuteman minute. The Son’s of the American Revolution were involved in this one. The engraved WWI memorial was very elegant, it is showing some age though. Wall South was very touching. Then I visited the Purple Heart monument. It was well done. I continued into the Korean War display it was excellent and had tablets inscribed with the different heroes of the war. Next as I was walking I ran into Stan. He was cleaning up the ground of a newly installed monument. He began a friendly conversation about the park. I learned he was a veteran, but additionally how much he does to make this park run. Their is a whole crew of guys keeping this wonderfully maintained. It’s really hard to believe it’s going on thirty years old. They take extreme care of all the monuments. I also visited the Gold Star family memorial. Stan shared several excellent stories about his time with Woody Williams while the ground was broke and during fundraising!

As I happily tell people worldwide: With the exception of Arlington National Cemetery, this is THE VERY BEST veterans memorial in the entire country. And I say that after having visited The Arizona memorial and Punchbowl National Cemetery in Hawaii, Gettysburg, Mound Cemetery in Marietta, Ohio, and the full-size Wall on the Mall in DC. Nowhere else can I go to pay my respects to all my ancestors from Revolutionary War General Jonathan Dayton up through trying to find healing from Vietnam by touching my cousin's name on Wall South and honoring my youngest nephew's service in Gulf War 1 and my adopted brother's contributions to the War on Terrorism. It's ALL here in one place and the best hidden tourist secret in Pensacola. Be sure YOU don't miss it!

Beautiful park honoring our veterans. It features memorials for each of the wars and military branches, and some additional memorials dedicated to medals or victims. Each one is a unique bronze or marble sculpture, with inscribed battles or brief sysnopses. I particularly enjoyed the monument for Revolutionary War Minute Men and World War 2. I really appreciate this park, as I have had many family members serve in the military. I visited it at night, and it was stunningly lit up. This is a hidden gem in Pensacola and should you be visiting this city, please take a moment and stroll around the park.

Really great memorial. Everything from the Revolutionary War Minutemen to the Global War on Terror is represented. Each exhibit is presented with such detail, it’s very well displayed and laid out. Especially loved the eagle gripping the World Trade Center piece that began the War on Terror. The Purple Heart, Vietnam, WWI, WWII and Korean War Memorial were great also. The clock in the center is great. Whole thing is top notch and great way to honor those who have sacrificed.

What a nice memorial park. Very well maintained, clean & pretty. The artwork & monuments to honor veterans of all military services for the last 100 years is respectful & tastefully presented. Definitely worth the stop. Saw a family picnic along the well manicured lake shore watching the water spray of the fountain, water fowl & other birds. Then across the street by the waterfront was a memorial for missing children. A jewel by the waterfront.

Veterans Memorial is a tribute to those who have served their country and gone on before us. This day was the dedication of two new bronze sculptures created by Randy New representing many years of marine and service from our dedicated military. From the helicopter to the beautiful bronze statues, the walk through the park is a wonderful experience with the quiet lake and fountain to the wall of names. Truly a place to visit in Pensacola.
