Veterans Freedom Park

Despite this park being right next to—or even in front of—the police department, it still feels very sketchy. You have to be aware of your surroundings. I’ve visited a couple of times and had to leave immediately because there were people acting suspiciously and getting uncomfortably close. It’s unfortunate, especially with the police department so nearby. I would not recommend bringing children here.

I have only been to this park twice, and both times my toddler had loads of fun! There's a nice, large grassy area to kick a ball around or play catch, maybe even throw a frisbee. There are a couple gazebos and a few benches to sit and relax also. Lots of trees so it's nice and shady on a hot day. It's usually rather peaceful, even with the Metro passing by. The playground is set up like a pirate ship which is pretty cool. There's a wheel to steer the ship, port holes to climb through, a slide, things to climb and lots of sand. The monument is really nice. Great homage to veterans who have sacrificed so much. I love that I can show this to my toddler and start teaching him to show appreciation for our vets. The restroom is by the playground and I haven't seen it extremely filthy yet; it's been fairly tidy any time I have used it. There's also a water fountain near the restroom. Parking has been easy any time I've gone there. There is a parking lot and street parking available too.

Nice park right next to the library, has a small area for kids to play. I have only been a couple of times but enjoyed a picnic with friends. They have a couple of tables under covered area. Lots of grass to run around for pets and kids.

There is a great library there, the park is nice, but there was a woman that i met yesterday that told me that she was hanging around people who do meth which raises a concern 4 safety 4 the youth and other's who attend that park. I guess they were homeless and have issues with substance abuse which i pray that God helps them with their housing situation and drug issues. Overall it is a nice park.

Yeah there's homeless but they dont bother no one. Little park across from the police station and a nice city library. Large field for party games, good for weekends or casual strolls. Just your average park
