Confirmed from Veterans 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.
Park offering play equipment, picnic pavilions, a veterans' memorial, and a fishing pond.
What runners say about Veterans Park
“Very clean and we'll kept.”
“Beautiful big pond that stretches quite a ways, with two nice docks to fish from.”
I really like veterans park. The playgrounds are large and various sizes for various ages, fishing pond, skate park and workout trail! Everything is spaced out, which is also nice. A few drawbacks: while the skate park is awesome and huge, it gets really crowded. Sometimes it's hard to do much.
This is one of our favorite parks! It has everything. 1 mile long paved walking trail, well-maintained bathrooms, pavilion covered for parties, picnic tables, and benches, huge pond, and fishing areas, bridges, swings, five play areas, two big playgrounds, safe area, and all well kept up.
