DeSoto Veterans Memorial Park

"It's timely to take a left turn out of the park. Sometimes, it's a good 10 to 20 minutes to get out because of traffic. You have to judge it to get out, and you can't take your time to get out, or you'll get hit. I've been lucky so far, nock on wood, I haven't tipped over yet either getting out of the park."

"It's a park that floods during rain and some of the picking tables have half sank into the ground from this. Place is very pretty and makes a great pitstop when traveling from east to west in Florida with dogs. We stop here regularly and let the pups sniff around. Wish they spent some money to upgrade it for the locals to enjoy, it is very pretty but needs a face lift or tweak..."

"Beautifully positioned along the Peace River just off of Highway 70 with plenty of parking & a newly completed floating dual boat ramp. Come for a lunch break or an all day outing, this park can keep you busy for the whole day! You could walk around in the water & find sharks teeth galore or bring a kayak or a small engine boat because the river is slightly low but rainy season is upon us. The water is brackish so if you are game to fish be prepared to catch bass, catfish, tilipa, snook & even baby tarpon. Bring a lunch and some company & enjoy the scenery! The lights on the old bridge are a sight to see at night! They repaired the top lights yesterday, so soon the bottom lights should be lit up as well!"

"Y'all need to do better, smh, its barely a roadside park and looks like it's mostly used for the boat launch. Could be beautiful with a little effort."

"There are a few tables and benches and you can see river views, but otherwise there’s not a lot going on here. You are better off strolling or relaxing at Morgan Park. Looks like they are doing a lot of construction across the street so maybe it will be bigger in the future. Bless our veterans."
