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.

Dog-friendly

Clean park with a playground, basketball courts and barbecue facilities.

“for the community it's very well kept up and clean.”

Well manicured. Great bike/walk path. Nice activity area for children. No net basketball court. Ball diamond. Horseshoe pit(need to bring your own or reserve time with Rec Center). Pavilion and Gazebo open unless reserved for private use.

★★★★★ — Theycallmedarkk , Feb 2020

I used to take my grandchildren here to play. They used to call it frog park because some of the equipment looks like frogs. They used to have a bathroom, but there's only an outhouse now. I believe on the outside of the fence. They have music in the park and fireworks. Occasionally a bandstand for summertime.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
