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.
Lakefront park full of playground equipment, a water pad and areas for birthday parties.
What runners say about Veterans Memorial Park
“Both parks are clean and well maintained.”
“It has lots of shade and there are good size equipment for toddlers to older kids.”
“Love the new addition to this park it has made morning jogs and night runs so serene and peaceful.”
Perfect play area for my 2 year old . Nice soft rubber walking or jogging track. Alot of pavilions for shade. City keeps it looking nice and clean.
This quarter mile track is made of cushy recycled tires. They're are several pavilions, a playground and bathroom facilities along with the splash pad in the summer. Best of all, it's right across the street from Mill Pond with its trail and its splash pad. Plenty of parking for both parks
My favourite playground in the area. It has lots of shade and there are good size equipment for toddlers to older kids. Has fences and gates so your kids would not accidentally run out to the street.Also has the water splash pad just across the street when it's the season. Restrooms are maintained moderately.
My son loves this park. Fully fenced in although people do forget to close them at times. Plenty of picnic tables available and open grassy areas for kids to run around and play in. The playground is toddler friendly. There's two bathrooms and a water fountain.
