About Veterans Park (Cloquet)
Veterans Park is Cloquet's civic gathering park, used for memorial observances, community events, and parish and organizational gatherings including Queen of Peace's Marian processions and picnics (City of Cloquet and Queen of Peace Parish, accessed 2026-08-13).
Unlike the city's athletic parks, this one is about assembly rather than activity: open green space, a memorial, and room for a crowd. In a city whose defining historical event is the 1918 fire, public memorial space carries more weight than it might elsewhere.
For residents it is the park you walk to rather than drive to, and it functions as an extension of the downtown a few blocks away.
Good to know: open green space, veterans memorial, picnic areas, community event space.
