Confirmed from Veterans Memorial 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.
Popular venue for walks, runs and picnics, with a track, open field, landscaped path, playground, stage, and amphitheater.
What runners say about Veterans Memorial Park
“Excellent walking trail that is well lit even late at night, well maintained, and clean.”
“Curvy path that has beautiful landscaping, a picnic area, playground equipment and restrooms.”
Love this park. It has a few climbing fixtures for the kids, several big grassy areas to run and play and a walking path around the area. It's well lit and there's constant traffic on the walking path so you don't have to feel alone or scared if you're there by yourself. I'm so glad to find this park
I went to this park for Family Movie Night. There is a large open field, a walking path and a few benches. I did not notice any bathrooms or picnic tables. There is a playground for kids. Animals are welcomed.
Really nice park to come walk, run, or jog around the track. Nice soft track is great on the feet. I don't actually use the track myself. I'm not a fan of going around in little circles 20 times. I walk around the courthouse and down to the DMV building then around the park itself. That route is a couple miles.
Great track for running or jogging, plenty of shaded areas. Clean public bathrooms. There is a playground for kids and also an outdoor stage for concerts. This is a great outside rec area. Plenty of trees and friendly people. A water fountain in front of the court house also very pretty.
