Confirmed from Veterans Memorial Park Merrimack NH'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 offering walking paths and picnic spots, along with baseball fields and a playground.
What runners say about Veterans Memorial Park Merrimack NH
“Clean big baseball park, nice boat access to the pond”
“Just Beautiful, Memorial area for our troops that served in our military.”
Nice and shady and a lovely walk through the forest with a story book to follow the path. Very buggy though and sticky sap on the equipment
This park contains a playground and a flat hiking trail that takes about ten minutes round trip. The trail parallels the lake and is very scenic. You rarely see people past the playground. There's a picnic table at the far end of the trail.
Bring bug spray for mosquitoes. Nice and local, park was great. The town library even get in on the fun with a children's story you can read along the trail.
