About

This is a very interesting park in the middle of the suburbs dedicated to veterans. On display are various military vehicles including an F-14 Tomcat, a Willys jeep, a tank, a military boat, and an A-4 Skyhawk.

You may find other strange things while walking through the park including an old mill, an anchor firmly in the ground, a firehouse museum, and the sign of an old rollercoaster well known to locals called the 'Zephyr.' Numerous statues, signs, and, flags are scattered throughout the park as well.
