Confirmed from Veterans Field 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.
Family-friendly park featuring playgrounds, plus basketball and soccer fields.
What runners say about Veterans Field Park
“You can clearly see George Washington bridge from the amazing walkway along Hudson Bay, which is neat and clean, with great exercise machines every few yards.”
“They even wrap around the quaint little condo complex nearby adding to the scenic route you can take affording you better views of the GWB.”
Lovely little park complex here with multiple soccer fields, basketball court, and playground areas. The walking paths criss-cross each other - many of which are right next to the water overlooking the city skyline.
Clean and new... Not bad for what used to be a toxic waste dump site. Besides a full scale soccer/baseball field, there's a playground, exercise stations, a walking trails that kids use for scooters as well. Located in Edgewater, right along River Road....
It’s an amazing park for a family trip. Has picnic areas, playgrounds, thos outdoor workout machines, and very nice walking trail by the river. It also has many baseball, soccer and basketball fields
I really loved this Park. You can sit and enjoy the weather, wait while your kids play, or take a walk along the river. It’s such a wonderful spot, and I’ll definitely come back again.
