Veterans Park is a waterfront public space located on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Redondo Beach. The park features a children's playground and memorial monuments honoring United States military personnel. It occupies a high-elevation position above the Redondo Beach Pier and harbor. The grounds include lawn areas, mature trees, and direct access to the beach-level esplanade via staircases. It serves as a central hub for community gatherings and local farmers' markets. The site is maintained by the City of Redondo Beach.

Bring a jacket, as the ocean bluff location experiences significant temperature drops and breezes once the sun sets.
Do not attempt to park in the adjacent residential streets as they are strictly permitted; use the paid public parking structure near the pier instead.
Maintain a respectful demeanor in the vicinity of the veterans' memorials.
