Verterans Park is a nice sized park that's easily accessible from multiple points. The park is well 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! read more

Great facility visited here for a USTA tennis tournament. Parking is limited, but they have extended 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. read more

Large green space with lots of walking trails, dog park, and picnic areas. Well maintained and a lovely space for a stroll

Nice cozy park to relax in. We came here just to sit and talk and relax. I enjoyed my stay there. It's a nice little area with benches surrounded by trees and grass that was intimate and gorgeous. I would definitely go back. Matter of fact this was my second time there in a single week. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and time I spent in this location. I only saw one side of the park. The side I was on looked like the side for family cookouts and family time. It had an icecream truck on this side too. Next time I go there, I will check out a different area of the park. read more

I played probably my favorite game of baseball ever at this park. In High School I played for Holy Spirit, and we won states. My favorite memory is we all swarmed the field and created a dog pile on the mound. I remember the last play was a ground ball hit to short and thrown to first. I was catching so I ran over to back up first base, and jumped into the dog pile. read more

Really beautiful park and the nature is really enjoyable to walk through. Highly recommend for a date or just a walk through the park. Keep in mind there is some geese poop near the lake though which is like land mines but overall it's a really nice park. read more

I always love going to this park. There's a lot of paved trails and some dirt trails too. It covers a lot of land too and has a big playground area in it. Almost forgot about the dog park as well which has separate fenced off sides for small dogs and larger dogs. read more

Veterans Park - One of the many veterans memorials at the park - Dog Parks Near Me - Hamilton, New Jersey

The best park in Hamilton! There is soooo much to do. Skate park, volleyball nets, tennis court, running track, walk through the woods, a dog park. Plenty of parking space and it is very, very well kept. If you take a stroll through the woods in the back, staying on the path that veers left, you will eventually hit a beautiful lake. There's a gazebo back there along with a few benches and it is just the perfect spot to have some R&R time to yourself or go with a friend to sit and enjoy the views and fresh air. The wooded paths are well marked and easy to navigate and there are maps throughout the trail. I would, however, advise caution exploring this park on your own after it gets dark. It is a rather large park and for that reason it's probably safe to travel with others if you'll be here after the sun sets. Otherwise - enjoy all the things you can do in this beautiful park during daylight hours !! If you're lucky, you may even catch some wildlife out there such as deer and some ducks that like to hang out and sun bathe around the lake. read more

I finally rode my bike to the park I didn't drive in! Love the bike trails I did get lost once but I will keep going until I know all entrances and exits. Beautiful park good to go early before the crowds. Boobie read more

Ah, with all of this snow in the weather forecast, my thoughts turn to Veteran's Park. This absolute gem of a park is far and away my favorite in Hamilton. With miles of well-marked paved and "off road" trails, tons of sports fields, children's playgrounds, gazebos and picnic areas with grills, a skate park AND a dog park, an RC airplane runway and well maintained facilities, a park-goer would be hard pressed to ask for much more. In a town as flat as Hamilton, it also possess one of the best sledding areas in town along the lake. They even install rope hand-lines to help the children (and some adults!) make the climb back to the top of the ridge a bit easier. All of this plus a number of genuine military artifacts scattered throughout the park (the larger pieces are an F4 Phantom, a WWI artillery piece, a Bell AH-1 Cobra helicopter and what I believe is a Korean War era tank) along with the somewhat newly-dedicated Naval Wall by the western entrance make Veterans Park a great visit for children and adults alike! read more

Such a lovely, dreamy park! This is a place you think about when falling in love or being at peace with the world. I loved the lushness, animals and sweet flowers. We saw geese & their fuzzy babies, a raccoon and a baby groundhog. Besides the walking trails, there are also gazebos and a ton of great photo opps! read more

I love this clean well maintained safe park. It has beautiful tennis courts with night lights. I just wish they turned them on during the winter nights when we want to play tennis. The dog park is big and clean. The walking paths are nice with beautiful playgrounds for the kids. It's a great find in Hamilton township! read more

Great medium distance running park. Good mix of road and trail. Always clean. Dopey township put ridiculous speed bumps which are super unfriendly to cyclist's and runners. There are much better designs but that's what governments do. read more

It's amazing how much Veterans Park has to offer for being a municipal park. It rivals some State Parks. At over 300 acres, Veterans Park is huge. The playground area is massive and the park even has museums. Fireworks are shot off for 4th of July and Septemberfest is held in late summer. read more

As the name suggests, this park is dedicated to veterans. There are memorials for all branches of the military, each one situated at one of the 4 entrances. There is also a 9-11 memorial with a girder from the WTC. This is not the best park for mountain biking or nature walks in the county. However, if you go off the beaten path, you will find some trails and even wildlife. But it is perfect for running, walking, and biking since there are restrooms and water fountains strategically located throughout. It also features one of the best public playgrounds in the area. There is really something for everyone in the family here, picnic space, dog park, skate park, tennis and volleyball courts, street hockey rink, and several ball fields. Go there and get active today. read more

My son is 8 and absolutely loves veterans park. It's great for walking and hiiking with multiple trails as well.

Good place to let your dog play with other dogs. Friendly people that remember you and your dog.

I love this park mainly because of the dog park that they have. They have a decent sized dog park where dogs can run off leash and play with equipment. One area is for smaller dogs, one for larger. I wish it wasn't so far away now that I moved from Hamilton to PA but I still make the drive because it's where I'm comfortable coming with my dog. read more

Not as big as Mercer County Park and not as nice as a national park, but Veterans Park is a great place for jogging, cycling and short hikes. There are entrances on all 4 sides to the park. From the west entrance, you'll walk past a small lake where you can see geese and ducks. Just watch for the poop on the path. The north entrance is mainly for people hiking, jogging and cycling and features a fighter jet in front, just across from Steinert H.S. The east entrance is somewhat obscure while the south entrance is probably the most popular for those going to the dog park, skateboard area and ball fields. read more

This park is a very nice and quiet area to walk around or socialize with your friends. This park has 4 entrances located at Klockner Ave, Kuser Road, Yardville-Hamilton Square Road, and Whitehorse Square Ave. if your looking for a nice local park to walk around, this is the spot. I should also mention that this park is excellent for people that play Pokémon Go, where there are plenty of pokestops and gyms. read more

As far a parks go, this one just isn't for me. Not enough BBQs, some more water front would be nice, and a lot more birds are needed.

Wonderful, well kept local park. Been coming here for years. Great place to walk the dogs or go for a jog. Love walking all the trails through the woods. Nice pond and lots of jungle gym options for kids (although I think the old wooden ones from back in the day were better!). Multiple sports fields in you're into that sort of thing plus a skate park for the cool kids. read more

Grew up with/in this park. It is right across from the high school. Steinert uses it a lot for cross country runs and gym walks. Take a walk through the trails and you will either come across a xc runner or a pot head trying to be sneaky. read more

Lovely park for running, biking, picnicking, or playing! Wonderful jungle gyms. Beautiful and well maintained grounds, trees, stream, pond.
