What this place offers
What visitors are saying
The memorial itself is nice. Sunny and bright, across the highway from the river so it gets a nice breeze. The park itself is a bit run down and the park benches are not usable during the warmer months because it seems every bench is infested with bees. The park could use some TLC and maintenance but the memorials are well done and seem to be in good shape. The park is also a bit desolate so use caution when visiting.
Who doesn’t appreciate a Vietnam Veteran’s Memorial? This on is well done, of course. From here you can walk towards The Delaware River to check out Spruce St Park. If you happened to be on the Hop on Hop off your, there is a hop on location on Dock St just west the northern part of Spruce St Park. The Korean War Veteran’s Memorial is right there also, just north of the Vietnam Memorial on the block between Spruce & Dock.
beatiful and moving in a fabulous setting
Amazing Monument. Be sure to visit on April 30th to see the veterans event. Very powerful, and the flyover was amazing!
