Great place to walk and enjoy the sights!

I like to take walks here as there are many paths. Lots of beauriful different trees and cactus area. Several memorials are nice to visit and I always stop by the rose garden.

Look carefully, read the signs

It's worth a stroll in Capitol Park to see trees representing all the areas of the state, and many monuments that are tucked into vignettes. The rose garden was still in full bloom in November, and the children's poems engraved onto ground markers are lovely.

Take a stroll

Capitol Park is located around the State Capitol. Stroll through the park past a host of trees and flowers to visit attractions such as the World Peace Rose Garden, Vietnam Memorial, copy of the Liberty Bell and access to the Capitol.
