"Hurts me to give a place like this 4 stars, but im knocking off 1 star for the location. Its on the corner of a suburban street. Theres a barber shop on other side of one of the gardens. It feels so out of place to have a memorial like this just shoved into a random location like this. Wth was the city thinking???? Also, sketchy dude was hangin around the picnic area. I would advise you keep some sort of self defense with you"
"Small but powerful tribute to Dr King"
"It's very small but cute. It's a type of place you would go to read a book."
"This park is small, but nice! I was definitely expecting more lol. It was an overall nice establishment. This park is a place to come and eat lunch, enjoy the beautiful scenery, and take pics at the Statue."
"The monument was quite beautiful and along the walls the famous and inspiring words of MLK were carved into stone. Reading them really gave me a sense of who he was. The location and the actual monument itself are quite pretty. The statue is quite impressive too."
