Confirmed from Constitution Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Home to the Veteran's Monument, this park features softball fields, a bocce ball court & a track.
What runners say about Constitution Park
“Love coming to this park to get my steps in, it’s always clean, peaceful, and well-kept.”
“Peaceful park despite the fact dog owners have 0 clue that there are no dogs or pets allowed as per, "the posted signs and official website.”
I love this park for several reasons. First, I love the walking track. 3 1/2 laps is equal to 1 mile, so every 4th lap is a bonus! I also love the exercise area where you can do pull-ups, dips, flips, sit-ups, etc.
Park is clean.has a great perimeter trail for walking. Baseball fields, restrooms, tables and seating, childrens playground, excercise area and work out stations. Also worth noting the historical aspects. There are signs noting Ft. lee's home of the motion picture industry.
Great park to exercise and a great place to jog by yourself or your family! BTW, 1 lap is about 0.27 miles and 4 laps around would be about 1.08 miles long. There is a nice little bathroom, baseball field, lots of exercising places meant mostly for the elderly and disabled.
Lovely park right off main street. There is no parking lot but lots of metered street parking in the immediate area. The park has a large field with a baseball diamond there. There is a paved path around the perimeter of the park.
