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.
Sprawling public park with a wide range of amenities, from soccer fields to walking trails.
What runners say about Veterans Memorial Park
“Great was helping clean up, felt good to give back.”
it's a bare bones park. Not many people. Good area for soccer, frisbee, jogging, etc. Great open space for drones except the sign says no drones. I've rarely seen anyone there that would care if you decided to fly. There is a Pokémon Go gym and poké stop. Lots of blackberries top pick during mid to late summer.
Nice quite park to walk the dogs or bring the kids, two baseball fields and 2 soccer fields, a dog off leash area in the back and trails, geocaching also, they also have guns off a battle ship in the main entrance area. Just a all around nice place to take a walk.
Very pretty. The view of the water is very nice. The field is large and is a great place to bring your kids to run around and play.
