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.
Relaxed-feeling park for strolling, jogging and biking, featuring a playground and a circular walking path around a pond.
What runners say about Veterans Memorial Park
“I like the park it's clean alot of benches but sometimes there are a few seedy characters so watch your kids don't just let them roam free or keep them in the playground.”
“We got to admire the pride we have for him in this gorgeous park.”
Great little park, nice walk around the pond with my grandson. A little playground for tots. And a small baby gator in the pond with lots of birds throughout.
Love going down with my Madness 😁 my granddaughter Maddie 😊 she loves riding her big wheel down the bike path ❤️
Fountain lake park is a nice place to come take a stroll or a jog. Love the memorials to our veterans.
I like the park it's clean alot of benches but sometimes there are a few seedy characters so watch your kids don't just let them roam free or keep them in the playground. Usually there are just students from beacon college and children in that area. Good for walking around and around getting steps in.
