In the 400 block of Main Street, located just north of City Hall, this area is dedicated to veterans. The area has a diamond shaped concrete walk, with two raised shrub gardens. At the rear (west), is a raised stone stage area for events. The walk areas have benches and picnic-type tables. A tall flagpole flies the flags of the United States and Oklahoma.
On display is a bronze plaque showing the names of the donors for this park. A thought-provoking quotation is engraved: "He on whom Heaven confers the sword knows not the weight till he bears it."
A gray granite monument reads: Dedicated to Veterans of all wars of Seminole, Okla. who served in Armed Forces of U.S.A. / Dedicated Nov. 11, 1968 / Erected by V.W.W.I Barracks 2531 / American Legion Post 204 / Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2050."
