    Love this park! There are 2 sides. One for the big boys and one for the little ones who are 25 lbs & under. Small side has 3 benches foe the humans & big side has 5 benches. Both sides are big enough for the pups to get a good workout. The small side is usually conflict free. I have seen some fights break out on the big side.

    My gf and I were looking for some cheap entertainment so she suggested we have a swing. I have to say that this park is huge...yet only has 4 regular sized swings. Of the 4 swings 2 of them were M.I.A. So what we were looking at is a massive park and only 2 swings. That seems crazy. Considering how much money Highland Park has for all sorts of frivolous things, one would really think they could afford more than 2 swings.

    Doggie bags are provided

    We have been looking for big dog parks and heard about this place from another person at an East Brunswick park. When we arrived, a number of dogs were already there. Ours took off to play right away. The people generally keep an eye on their dogs so we were comfortable from the very beginning. The park provides you with waste bags, benches, water fountain, and bins for regular garbage and recycling. The bathrooms are also nearby. The only downside of the place is it's mostly mulch and dirt so make sure you have something to clean off your pup if you're concerned about your car getting overly muddy.

    Very nice dog park! They a big enclosed area for dogs under 25 lbs and one for above 25. Waste bags available and benches to sit. Plenty of area for the dogs to play and run hard! My dog finally was able to get a lot of her energy out! Nice place!

    Large dogs romp and play. Small dogs usually sit next to their families. Just watch your dog if it's less aggressive.

    The park is well kept and the dogs that visit are pretty friendly. Athena loves this dog park.

    Great place to have your dog socialize. My only complaint is that there aren't many trees on the side for small dogs.

    Verterans Park is a nice sized park that's easily accessible from multiple points. The park is…read morewell equipped with various sporting facilities, including tennis courts, volleyball nets and even a small, ver basic, skate park. There's even a location for roller hockey. There are play areas for kids, and picnic tables (including covered picnic locations) for families looking to spend some time out of doors. It can be very crowded on a nice weekend, which is both good and bad, as I'm glad that they park is being used by the Township's citizens, but at the same time, you always want the nice places all for yourself. There are parking areas on different sides of the park, and I prefer to park on the Hamilton/Whitehorse Road side, but that spot is pretty small, is popular with runners, and fills up especially fast on weekends. To make matters worse, for some reason the City recently installed E-Car charging stations there (sure, pick the smallest lot--nice work, Hamilton), so parking in those four spaces is no longer available for anyone, as the even the e-cars must leave after charging. There are well paved paths that lead through the park, and there are park maps located in a few places along the main paved paths. There are also dirt trails that lead through the more wooded areas in the park, but sadly, they are very poorly marked--meaning almost not at all, and it's up to you to figure them out. However, the park isn't so big that you can really get lost, so...go out and try to get lost, and you'll figure out the dirt trails soon enough. They aren't nearly as popular as the paved trails, so they should be your destination if the sensation of having the park to yourself is a goal. There's a dog park located by the Kuser Road entrance. There's a fenced in area for large and smaller dogs, but to be brutally honest, both areas are tiny compared to the expansive dog park located at Rosedale Park in nearby Pennington. That said, if you just want to bring your dog to a place where they can socialize and you're not worried about them having a place to run, it's fine. Just make sure you walk them through the main park itself before or after so that they can get some exercise. On the negative side, other than the poorly marked dirt trails and the underwhelming size of the dog park, the main problem in Veterans Park, which is pretty much the main problem in every park in the county. The city recently put up signs saying there will be improvements made to the paths that include separate bike lanes. It's a good idea, and a necessary one , but I'll be surprised if the people on feet respect the bike lines. Prove me wrong, Hamilton!

    Great facility visited here for a USTA tennis tournament. Parking is limited, but they have…read moreextended parking options. There are restrooms within the park. They do have pickle ball courts. The surface of the tennis courts could be maintained well. They do have a hitting wall. I see a lot of dog walkers in the club.
