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.
Public park with lawned areas, on-site parking & facilities for children, including a playground.
What runners say about Veterans Memorial Park
“There are picnic tables, covered pavilions (with tables), drinking fountains, restrooms, and doggy clean-up stations at various locations throughout the park.”
“It is a beautiful place to walk, play, picnic and the library is wonderful too.”
“They have some really fun playgrounds that are nicely shaded so they never get super hot.”
“Multiple playgrounds, main one is all-ability friendly with ramps that are wide-set, easy to maneuver and navigate for all ages.”
Great park for picnics, parties, fun with kids and just for walking. Zip line for kids and playgrounds too. They areas you can reserve with tables and restrooms.
I was here for the Carnival and the Fireworks for the Independence Day. The event was good, the weather didn't help but we stayed. Although there were a lot of people, the space was big enough for everybody to place our mat and chairs. A lot of police presence makes you feel safe.
Great park! I love the location. It is a very easy walk from the Trax station (¼ mile). The park itself covers about 100 acres. As of this writing there are 4 different playgrounds. There is actually a 5th currently under construction. When it is finished it will dwarf the size of the other 4.
My family and I love this park. We visit it quite frequently. There's multiple play areas for kids. Pavilions with barbecueers for picnics or parties. A basketball, tennis, and volleyball courts. Multiple baseball diamonds. They do have public restrooms.
