What makes it fun
Penn Valley Park was established in what was originally known as Penn Street Ravine. This 130-acre park, which houses the Liberty Memorial and the National World War I Museum, is rich in history. The gardens, which were built in 1904 on land where the Santa Fe Trail had crossed, are home to commemorative statues such as The Scout, the Pioneer Mother Memorial, and The Hiker. There is also a 3-acre lake, an off-leash dog park, a skate park, a 2-mile exercise route, tennis courts, and ball fields in the park.
