The park is nice and has a great view of the town and the river. We usually just walked through the park as we crossed the pedestrian bridge from downtown to other parts of Galena, but we noticed a lot of families with small children in the park, too. It is a very peaceful and well kept park. More

This park has a historical military theme, with canons from different wars placed throughout the park, and of course a statue of U.S. Grant and other war memorials. Great views of Downtown Galena More

Grant Park overlooks downtown Galena, the Galena River and the historic Illinois Central Railroad tracks. I parked near the park and took the pedestrian bridge across the river into downtown Galena. Don't know the city's parking laws but I had no problems. I really enjoyed this beautiful town! More
