Confirmed from Vietnam 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.
Sprawling area with ponds & playgrounds, plus walking trails & a dirt track for motocross bikes.
What runners say about Vietnam Veterans Park
“Clean well maintained trails nice place to walk with the family will definitely go back”
“Great parking, lots to do for children of all ages.”
A large park with all you can want. Sport fields, large playground equipment, dirt bike area, ponds with fishing nooks, trails through heavily forested area. A lovely place to visit if you enjoy nature.
I love this place. There's radio controlled planes to watch doing tricks, trails to hike, playgrounds fenced in for kids, soccer fields, a lake, 2 pokemon gyms and a stop, and a gardening plots for annual rental!! Gardening is Very cheap. They even turn the soil over for you in the spring for you.
Parking area is unsurfaced chaos. Don't even try the rear entrance unless you're in a 4x4 or a rally car, especially after rain. Younger kids will love the little playground. Older kids might like the bike park in the back. Short hiking trail loops and fishing spots available.
Great park with much more to explore than I originally realized. Besides fishing and walking around the water, there are open fields, trails, wildlife areas, and the Middlesex County RC Flyers field. During this visit I spotted geese, a beaver lodge, and some beautiful wetland views I hadn't seen before.
Trail conditions & character
“Horse and dog friendly, dog park, BMX track, horse ring, RC flying field, sports field, and good to picnic.”
