- Dan SVancouver, WA34 contributionsThe history of this mansion includes presiding over Vancouver Barracks, a prominent Army installation that served this region, the country, and our Pacific theater during World War II. Its most famous resident was (then) Brigadier General George C. Marshall, whose very non-political leadership saw the growth of our military from 188,000 in 1939 to over 8 million by the end of the war. Further, his wisdom and persuasive abilities led to what later became known as the "Marshall Plan" - for which he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1953.Written March 13, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- skeletoncrewVancouver, Canada311 contributionsLovely promenade for a walk, well maintained grounds, parking is only $2 per hour. There's a public restroom, clean, safe. There should be more of these in other cities. Not a lot of people but we were here on Tuesday and it was super windy so that could be the reason.Written December 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Paul & Sue GWest Hartford, CT38 contributionsGreat place to walk and enjoy nature. Activities around as people fish, swimming area, playgrounds, large grass areas, public restrooms, etc.
Saw a family of deer. Parts of the park can be noisy due to freeway traffic. But didn’t detour us from enjoying the walking trail. Good place to veg.

Great balance of veggies, fruit, and food with a cordial ambience of music around the market.

- anilifVancouver, WA811 contributionsToday was our first visit in quite a few years, maybe 6 or so. We went for Second Saturday, and the 13 year olds enjoyed it. We also enjoyed walking on the trails and looking at birds. Great place!Written March 10, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Frances HVancouver, WA3 contributionsThe Reserve is a beautiful place to walk and observe nature at its best. I live in Vancouver now but newly discovered this treasure. There is something for everyone here.Written August 2, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Cindy CHailey, ID185 contributionsCrossed bridge as part of my river walk. I was impressed the City of Vancouver and probably some local non-governments organizations have attempted to give some of the history and highlights of several Indian tribes that utilized the Columbia. We are so good at forgetting that others lived on the land sustainably for centuries before our European ancestors "discovered" North America!Written September 24, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
