Veterans Park and Athletic Complex reviews
17I really used to underestimate this park. However, I learned that it is a great place to play soccer and other sports. Therr are several really nice playgrounds and covered areas. The park and the grass cover is well maintained and taken care of.
Here for a sponsered soccer tournament. Beautiful multi-use athletic fields and Veteran Memorial Park. Only one food truck, very limited selection. The reason that prompted the review is to highlight the appalling lack of handicap parking. You would think being a memorial park for veterans, they would have seen to more parking for the disabled.
5 years ago, I found myself driving around in search of wisdom, purpose, direction. Something to motivate these dry bones and tired muscles. I was extremely overweight and unmoved at the thought of ever being anything more then I already was. My vehicle drifted into the parking lot of Veterans and the curiosity of what lay on the other side of that tree line seem to call out. So I parked and began an evening stroll. There, I was reminded of all the lives that had gone before me to protect and secure a future of hope. As I sat in front of the WWII memorial my heart spoke, "this.this right here. If you need purpose to better yourself, do it for them. Do it for the one whose heart was full of dreams yet cut short while sacrificing for freedom, for hope.you owe it to them to strive daily to live your best life. " With tears in my eyes, I stood up and made a declaration. To myself and to those who have gone before me. I will strive to live my best life physically, mentally, and spiritually. Understanding and always remembering that it came with a price. I encourage anyone to stop by Veterans and ask yourself as you walk through time and ask yourself, are you living your best life?
What a wonderful day I spent in this park! Beautiful place to visit: full of amenities like a lot of different courts to play and the walking on the park is an amazing experience, full of history, clean and beautiful. After my visit I went to C&J barbecue for lunch time and I really recommend this place as well, very close to the park! The food is delicious! The brisket is out of the world!
Hands down one of the nicest parks I've been to in my travels. The military memorials are amazing and awe inspiring, and the huge walkway around the soccer fields are very informative and American interesting. Several huge parking lots, can usually park the biggest class A unless events
Beautiful park and kept clean by the city. However, low on signage when trying to locate soccer fields upon entering the park from either direction. And not all the bathrooms are unlocked when soccer practice and games are in play! Very frustrating when you have small children and grandparents that come to watch! Unlock all of the bathrooms when in soccer season!
Absolutely amazing place I had no idea that it was that beautiful and honoring the veterans the veterans was just truly is truly spectacular
Remarkable tribute to our veterans, dedication to each war fought, and to America. The sport complex has tons of room for soccer but what is impressive is the American Mile Walk to learn about our country one year at a time. I highly recommend this park to every American, young and old. This is a great place to walk your dog too. It's not officially a dog park but if they're leashed, they'll love it too.
One of my favorite places to run. Lots of space and you can even learn some history reading the memorials and the sidewalk!
I love playing pokemon Go and this park has all the poke stops and gyms anyone can ask for. And they're spread lit throughout the whole park so you get a really good walk.
I was walking my dog, and it began to rain, and while walking back to my vehicle, I slipped down on the metal part on the sidewalk, due to it got slipper due to the rain.
So, fellow veterans and park goers be very careful; it could be a slip and fall hazar. Some warnings notification should be placed on those metal grates that attach to the sidewalks, especially by the pavilion area.
Lots of space for walks and stuff however not really a good play ground for the kids it's just a very small corner in this huge athletic sport park.
We were there to watch softball game. Unfortunately the day we visited was super windy and dust was blowing everywhere so it was getting in everyone's eyes and mouth. It wasn't until after the last game we went to watch that maintenance came out to spray the field with water to try and control the dust. Of course, no one expects maintenance to control weather bit they could be more proactive in controlling the field conditions.
I go fishing in the creek beside the soccer fields. The city had just redone the soccer fields and restrooms at the park
Great park with plenty of paths and fields to play sports on. Been here countless times and always enjoy myself here.
A hidden gem tht I was not aware of. A veterans path w/so much history and life size statues.
Park clean and very nice.
Awesome facility. Pristine fields and a very clean park all around. One of the best i have seen and i play alot of softball in the west and southwest.
My dad's name is on this wall. My mother had his name put on there about 3 years ago. And it's very beautiful display. They also have nice little walking trails.
