The memorial is very a very nice tribute to those who served. My kids love the park. Great jogging circle as well.

This park was an amazing surprise! There was so much to do here from playgrounds to hiking trails and more. It's really well maintained and a wonderful little gem.

We love the park because it is huge, and there is so much space to do what ever you want. The skate area is a nice bonus for the kids to safely practice rollerblades or skates or even skateboard. Mine like to race each other while I stand in the middle giving high fives. Soccer and baseball fields; nature trail, playgrounds for kids and a second one for toddlers are standard with covered seating and BBQs for the birthday parties. It's just a great park with tons of space!!!

One of my favorite places it's so beautiful and there's so many different aspects to enjoy... I wish they would add a few more covered pavilions.

Laura Green | May 12, 2020
Nathan Cothran | May 13, 2020

No signs against it, and plenty of people with pets on a leash, as long as your dog is well behaved and you pick up after him you should be golden.

Would it be possible to host a night event here?

Cara Persampieri | May 6, 2022

No not without special permission of the city as the park closes down at sunset except for July 4th

Amvets 42 Riders are having a Memorial ride on May 14th 2022. We would like to make VMP a stop to reflect on the 33 members of Amvets Post 42 that are no longer with us. Is this possible and do we need to resere a time? estimate of 25 motorcycles.

Veterans park is open sunrise to sunset and there is no need to reserve unless you want to do a public memorial with speakers and such. Plenty of parking except for memorial day and veterans day and July 4th

Does anyone know if the picnic areas are accessible for someone with a rolling walker? I've been to the memorial area and parking lot so I know that's ok, but what about getting to the tables/park setting?

Yes, 2 gazebos. Large for maybe 50-60 people and small for around 15-25 people. Get there early to claim gazebos. Lots of people try to secure them for their events.
