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.
Popular lakefront park featuring an outdoor pool, ice arena, mini-golf course & community events.
What runners say about Veterans Park
I spend so much time here. I run around the lakes much of the time and bring my son to the playground. Some of the things they have are; surreys to ride on, food stop, mini golf, volleyball area with sand, gazebo, dock, and a covered seating area people use for events. The ice arena is really awesome as well.
Very nice and well kept. Went for a few walks on the trails with family and took many photos. I have a little sister and she always enjoys running around the playground. We like to eat lunch there too!
Great place to walk! Disappointed that non-native invasive plants ie: Buckthorn & Purple Loosestrife are spreading there:(
Very nice park with plenty of green space, trails, and wildlife, as well as mini golf, a playground, and nice lake areas. We had a fun afternoon here, my mom, myself, and my young 8 year old cousin, playing mini golf, and riding a rented 2 seater quad-cycle!
