Veteran's Memorial Park may be reached by driving due west on Jefferson St. (up the hill) from the heart of Old Monterey, or by taking Highway 68 west from Highway 1 until you see a white adobe wall on the right side of the road with black letters that says "Skyline Forest". Turn right there, go to Skyline Drive and turn left. Skyline Drive will lead you right into the Park. Veteran's Memorial Park is about 1 mile away from historic downtown Monterey. The Monterey Bay Aquarium is about 1 ½ miles from the park, and various beaches are within 2 miles. Click HERE to see a location map (see # 9).
