When was the last time you heard of a new park, one dedicated to Veterans, being built without a single taxpayer penny? Such a park is now open in Albion, courtesy of Larry Raymon and his family. The owner of Raymon Company is welcoming you to Raymon Veterans Park, It features a self-propelled howitzer, dedication plaza, picnic tables and is right next to the proposed Iowa River’s Edge Bike Trail.

A Veteran as well, Raymon considers the park, open 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 om year-round, is a jewel that folks will come from all over to see. He adds this park is as good as any you could find in Washington D.C.
