Confirmed from Toms River Veterans Recreation Complex'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.
Relaxed park featuring a playground, picnic tables and a baseball field.
What runners say about Toms River Veterans Recreation Complex
“Every time we came to her game the park was always kept nice and clean and if you play Pokemon Go it's a pokey stop”
We love coming here with out furry friends to go for a walk and for me to go for a run. Always seems well taken care of and patrolled.
Nice paths to walk/run. Plenty of baseball fields and the playground is well maintained.
Wonderful spot for a walk. Pretty wooded surroundings and a smooth walking path. Lots of parking. Playground for children, picnic tables, and rest rooms available.
My little sister plays softball there it's a nice park with ton of stuff for little kids and a nice track to run and a small pond with bass and catfish
Trail conditions & character
“Great place to take your kids to play & your dog for a walk.”
