The VIEW is fantastic and the Park is a lovely place to walk. The only WWI Museum in the US. An incredibly monument, two shrouded sphinx’s (symbolising the horror and shame of war) and an iconic eternal flame. This site houses a incredible collection of history and patriotism. It sits high, overlooking the city and affording a great opportunity to see a beautiful view of the Union Station. The park setting is home to numerous festivals, special exhibits and it’s a favorite for family and wedding photos. Best of all, it’s a great place to fly kites!

This park is very close and has two Frisbee Golf courses. The second course is called the "Down Under". It's completely hidden from the park and isn't advertised but locals know and frequent this course beause it's like being in the midst of a fantasy forest with paths winding up and down and completely surrounded by trees. Check it out and you won't be disappointed!
