Easy to find, plenty of parking spaces, it has benches for viewing. Nice to not having to drag along our chairs. The closet hotels are 10-15 mins away. read more

Veteran's Memorial Park - Let soccer season begin! - Dog Parks Near Me - Saint Johns, Florida

Love this park! The boys have so much fun here looking at the the ducks and playing on the playground. Two of my favorite things about this part is that parents can swing with their little children with double swings and that the playground is gated in so much youngest can't vendor off as he is a runner! On the weekends it can get a little crowded with all the soccer games so plan accordingly. read more

Very nice clean playground. Well maintained fields. Impressive skate park. Ample dog park.

This park has a great kids PLAYGROUND with a jungle gym, slides, swings, and parent/baby swing. The play structure does have shade but the swings didn't. It's a mulched playground and fenced. There's a shaded sitting area with picnic tables adjacent. The sign suggests ages 2-5 for the play atri read more

Veteran's Memorial Park - Playground and swings - Dog Parks Near Me - Saint Johns, Florida

This is a large and CLEAN park. Plenty of parking, really nice wide sidewalks all around for walking the dog or jogging, plenty of CLEAN bathrooms throughout. Several Ponds with fountains. Basketball courts, playground, soccer fields, skate park and free dog park with fenced areas separated for small and large dogs . I stress the word CLEAN because a lot of the local parks around Jax are full of trash which is really sad. This one is well maintained. I imagine it gets super busy during soccer season as it's a Florida Elite complex but today on a winter Thursday Morning it was empty except for a few people at the dog park, some adults practicing soccer against the kick boards, some joggers and kiddie soccer practice on the small fields. There were picnic tables under roofs adjacent to each bathroom but no designated picnic area or recreational area except the soccer fields to speak of. read more

I have two Shih Tzu's that weigh 10 pounds apiece I've been taking them often no problems There's a new sign that says 20 pounds and under there was a group of border collies that came in. I know they're over 20 pounds but that's OK they're very friendly but I did have a problem with a greyhound and a couple other dogs that are extremely fast which they were trampling over my dogs so I had to hold my dogs the entire time and then I decide to confront the people and they get an attitude and one lady was going to take her dog and the other lady said no don't do that and I told her she was being a bitch. no one has respect for others. I said some things I shouldn't have said and that's not who I am. I asked god to forgive me for the words I said. no one really watches their dogs they just talk and chat while the dogs trample over the little ones. I said something to a man in reference he needed his fat ass to shut up and I'm sorry I said that. just please I don't mind collies just the dogs that r to fast so my dogs can enjoy the park to. this is why the sign is up because people have been complaining that people r bringing big dogs on the little dogs side which doesn't give my dogs anytime to play. read more

Is this a public or private park? I understand some businesses or people contribute and want a sign, but this park is plastered like a dictatorship of Florida Elite soccer signage Everywhere. So, Fl elite got me looking The Veterans park sign seems gone. Guess it got the boot for the privatized non-profit PPP soccer program. Since this is the only large (I thought publicly funded) park in the nearby area, it would be nice to have better large playgrounds and focus on multi-purpose use. Dog & skate park are nice, but could use some help. St. John's tax payers deserve some return on these high taxes. It was nice to think there was a real Veterans memorial that stood for US Veterans not a confederacy and not a privatized group- guess not in St Johns. read more

Woof, woof WooOFf, Woof. In dog language, that means it's a great place to be. My dog had a great time here. I mean, whenever there's sun, grass and other dogs to sniff. He's happy. Take your canine friend here and let them loose. It is free and very friendly. Your dog is going to need plenty of naps and a bath after. read more

Good size dog park! Has a separate small/large side for pups to play. They also have a shaded area for humans to sit under while the puppers play, and a hose/drinking area to clean your dogs after playing. read more

Veteran's Memorial Park - dog park fun before the storm - Dog Parks Near Me - Saint Johns, Florida

This place is perfect! What's even better is there is no admission fee. FREEEEEEE! It's very spacious and entirely fenced it. Segregated into two sections; big dogs and little dogs. There are community dog bowls, as well as a kiddie pool for dogs. Be wary of the mud pond in the back. Awesome place to socialize the dog and meet new people. read more

Merry Christmas (not ) went to this dog park today 12/25/20 to five my 7 month old white Sheppard some much needed dog chasing fun!! Only to encounter the rudeness of people. My dog entered and immediately went to sniff new fur friends and encourage them to run via his hearty bark ( not aggressive but definitely loud) this is what dogs do people! Sniff, bark and 'yes' chase! A guys was like get your aggressive ass dog outta here... WHAT? he proceeded to curse and get so rude for no real reason. My dog didn't bite anyone. I take my dog every where (mall, restaurants, other dog parks) he is a registered service animal never any issues EVER! I will not come back here, the people and muddy not well kept park is not worth it. read more

Something for everyone! Dog park, skate park, basketball courts, play ground, trail, soccer fields. Chick-Fil-A was there tonight because of the soccer games. The only down-side to being there after 5pm on a soccer night is the playground is full of toddlers waiting for older siblings to play soccer. read more

Veteran's Memorial Park - Someone's been feeding the birds. They will follow you! - Dog Parks Near Me - Saint Johns, Florida

It's a crisp Friday morning on Oct. 30 at the Veterans Paw day park. Lots of friendly dogs in both the large park and small park. The facilities are great and the park is well kept. There are tables for humans to sit and watch their dogs interact and play. The tables are covered to render shade to dogs and people. It's hard to estimate how big this fenced park is but it is quite large. There are trees sand and puddles for the dogs to play in when they want to get muddy. Plenty of water to quench dogs thirst. The park is centrally located in northern St Johns County. Lots of fun for dogs and people read more

This is called VETERANS PARK - a memorial to those who served. I was in the Marine Corps and I was very rudely kicked off of using the open soccer fields by Florida Elite. There were 5 or 6 unoccupied fields and the coach ran across 3 fields to tell us to leave. When we asked for a reason he said this is their park after 5 and he didn't need to give me any more of a reason. What a DISGRACE to veterans from Florida Elite. read more

This is for the dog park only. This dog park is great! There are two separate areas, one for small dogs and one for large (which is gigantic). The people there are friendly as well as the dogs. The only downside is the huge puddle/mini lake in the back corner of large dog area. My dogs are drawn to it like magnets and there have been snakes at times. read more

There is something to do for everyone in our family here. There is a lovely memorial for veterans in the middle of the park. This is a nice spot to sit a reflect as well. The grounds here are beautiful and although some little deviants spray painted a little graffiti on some of the street signs, I have no doubt that will be removed shortly. -Skate board park -Dog park -Veteran's Memorial area -Children's play grounds -Soccer, Baseball fields -Basketball courts -Wooded walking trails -Really, really clean bathrooms (BONUS!) A note about the dog park...This little park is separated into a large dog area and small dog area. I love this as we have two little dogs who believe they are big dogs. Their Napoleonic complexes are better suited for fuzzy friends their own size! Also people who frequent the dog park leave bowls out for the visiting dog's right under the water faucet. Thank you all!! Another nice feature is the doggie doo baggie dispenser under the awning in case you forget to bring your own pick up bags. Additionally, there are a bunch of picnic tables under a covered awning for those warmer days. This is great for when you just want to sit in the shade and socialize with other dog owners while Fido does his own thing. This is a beautiful park just to go and enjoy no matter what your interest may be. read more

This rating is just for the dog park section of Veteran`s Memorial Park. As far as public dog parks go it is a decent size. Since it is a public park there are not really any rules. People do not really pay too much attention to their dogs or their kids for that matter. Luckily my dogs do not mind kids rolling all over them because the parents of the children were letting their children run with the dogs. On Saturday mornings there is a bunch of Huskies that meet up there, Huskies are a pack breed so if your dog is not a husky be prepared for it to get picked on by them. Other then that, it is a nice place if there are other responsible pet parents there. read more
