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.

Love the zip lines, playground, slides, bacci ball courts, gym, workouts, soccer, field, trails,

★★★★★ — Roxie , Nov 2023

We love this park but it is usually crowded so if you are looking for a quite park this one isn't it. None the less sometimes you get lucky like today. Only a few kids so we got the run of the place. Big enough for kids to really climb till they drop. Zippline is a most and so is the third story slide.

★★★★☆ — Samantha , Oct 2021

Beautiful grounds. You can get a printed map of where the graves are located for the names you're looking for. The printer kiosk is mounted on the outside wall of the cemetery office so you can get a map at any time of the day or week. There are a lot of hills so it might be a problem for some people.

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.
