Great place to walk some trails with the pooch. Well kept, it has modern bathrooms by a large grassy clearing in the center of the area.(the BEST place to play frisbee or catch around here) Note that only during the warm months the road that loops through the entire park is open. Otherwise, you can park in the lot at the entrance. Great trails, including a loop through a stand of very large red pines that are straight and very tall. Two pavilions are here, one large one small, also a playground too. Almost never busy. Often times, I'm the only one here. Check out the trail behind the portable toilet in the parking lot, it's a little difficult to traverse but goes along side a ravine with some big beech and hemlock trees. There's also a new trail, as of 2021, that starts from the parking lot and goes through the pine forest adjacent to Cole Rd. Nice addition. Take the trail that goes over a small bridge at the parking lot, through the old growth Red pines, down some steps, over the Teed drain and connect to the other part of Vets Park. There you will find another pavilion, a fire pit, additional trails and a link to the Pere Marquette rail trail.( You can access this part of Vets Park from 8 mile Rd by car.)

My dog was watching some ducks. I love walking the trails. It is kept very clean. I think they even blow the leaves off the trails
