Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Dedicated to those brave Americans who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect their country and their freedom, Veterans’ Memorial Park is situated on the east bank of the Arkansas River in downtown Wichita. You can access the park from the Wichita Riverwalk and take a quiet stroll down the winding riverside paths that will lead you to each of the park’s seven memorials.

There are benches for quiet reflection and at the end of your walk you can see the memorial to the USS Wichita, which received 13 battle stars for service during World War II. Once you have paid your respects to the veterans, you can continue a short distance along the Riverwalk to the famous Keeper of the Plains statue.
