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.
Park offering shaded playground and trails for walking and picnicking.
What runners say about Veterans Memorial Park
“It is a clean park with well natured and mindful folks without housing.”
“The place Is not meant for picnic or anything, just a beautiful little forest to walk through to catch the bus.”
Good open space with lots of nature to enjoy. Minimal noise from road and i5. It is a clean park with well natured and mindful folks without housing. There are groomed trails.
Quiet and serene, with a soft bark path to walk from one end to the other. Connects the neighborhood on the East to the parking lot of the transit center on the West.

Great park! Glad it’s clean now. Looking forward to the trail renovations.
