Confirmed from Veteran's 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.
Shady spot featuring basketball courts, picnic tables, swings and slides, plus a playground.
What runners say about Veteran's Park
“Love walking at this location it feels safe all the time, I enjoy my early morning walk, family oriented location kids are safe to play the place is always kept very clean”
“Sunset is really beautiful.”
“Lots of shaded area and picnic tables.”
Wonderful park! It is a nice place to walk in especially at night it's very convenient as there are lights all around the path. It's quite small but still nice to walk or run some loops around. It also has a clean, large playground for children and public exercise equipment around the park.
This park located at the heart of Miami Lakes is great, vivid, full of peace! I really enjoy my walks here. It has an area for kids, some basic workout equipments, across the street there is a wonderful fountain and a lake. Sunset is really beautiful.

This is a very nice, clean, and safe park with a welcoming atmosphere and friendly people. It’s a great place to walk and enjoy the outdoors. However, the one concern I have is the lack of lighting in the early morning hours.
