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.
Recreation area featuring baseball fields, a paved trail and restrooms.
What runners say about Veterans Park
“Nice clean park with kids playground, clean public restrooms, approximate 1.”
Nice clean park. Not very big or many playground items. Does have baseball diamonds, basketball court, soccer fields and a picnic/shelter house. Also had a paved trail around the perimeter for running, walking or cycling.
Nice clean park with kids playground, clean public restrooms, approximate 1.1 mile paved and partially shaded path, baseball fields, soccer fields, multiple shelterhouses and is even used for middle school and high school cross country meets. There's something here for everyone!
Decent size park with lots to do. Bring the family and throw a party or enjoy your sports! A mile long track wraps around the park so it's easy to exercise or take a stroll.
Gravel in the play area. Small Park but we'll be back as my grandson lives to swing and run!
