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.
Community green space with a playground and a soccer field plus picnic tables.
What runners say about Veterans Memorial Park
“Recommend it 💯as a peaceful, clean and family oriented place for any event or outing.”
“Great trails, beautiful open meadow for “touch football” 🏈 or any other group outdoor activity.”
Parks structure is very unique and have divided with consideration of sports. Kids play area is not far from sights if parents are walking or watching kids soccer game. There is long walking trail for bikers and Walker and joggers.
Beautiful park. It’s just opposite to my community. Very good place to walk, jog, run. Soccer ground is good. There is a small stage to perform Yoga and other activities. When there is water flow in the stream, it’s more beautiful.
Nice park close to Rt 46 and 80. Plenty of greenery, play area for kids, fields, barbecue grills. Good place for a break with walking trails. Proximity to rt 89 makes it noisy, but still- having a park in the city is a big plus.
Great park right off Route 46 in Parsippany. It's a 0.5 mile walk one lap around the paved path. There is a nice turf soccer feild and really nice childrens outdoor play area.
