Been living in Arlington for many years, always drove by this park but never stopped. And lots of hidden gems (painted rocks) Now i cant wait to go back. What a beautiful park!

Always a beautiful park to go to. So many features, especially the statue to commemorate those veterans who faught in the Vietnam War as well as other veterans. That is the main attraction. Others include disc golf, tails, nature trails, covered park benches and a pavilion, a mile long paved trail around the park, duck pond, play area for children... And Ive only said a few.....

Very nice park, nice pavillion. The day we visited both areas had been taken over. I had, in September tried to reserve & was told they werent taking reservations at any of the Arlington parks. My group is all adults & we try NOT to be close to little ears due to adult language & conversations. Picking this park I thought it was out of the high traffic, was I wrong. One section of the pavillion had a kids bday party w 30 kids. We had to move to 2 tables away from the building. They were situated amongst trees, nice shade, great breeze & not far from the restrooms. All in all it worked great.

This is a good sized park with a playground, expansive walking trails, and a war memorial. It looks like there is an area for outdoor concerts but I have no idea if anyone will be using it in the near future. Lots of wide open space to fly a kite and parking is ample. I think there was a even a restroom, which is always a good thing to have at parks. I plan to come back much more in the future, but my first visit will forever hold a special place in my mind because my son didnt want to leave so I basically had to drag him back to the car. As I coaxed him along, a random guy started questioning me as if I was kidnapping him. Fun day!

This is a nice Park with a good amount of walking and running trails. The playground is pretty big and nice for children. It also has a frisbee good course.Not recommended for cycling as the trails are pretty sorry and not connected to anything other than sidewalks out of the park.

This place is wonderful. It is peaceful and beautiful. I just wish they would fix some of the signs with the info on them, they are leaning/breaking. Other than that, we will totally be back here to walk.

I’ve nominated this favorite park, all the cute trails. I come here often for exercise and when I take the kiddos and to see their smiles and hear their giggles when they find painted rocks it makes our visit extra special. #ArlingtonRocks! We had to call Animal services to help out a duck we found with fishing string stuck tangled around the ducks legs, I wish people would think about cleaning after themselves. Last but not least, Thank you to all the USA veterans for your service.

My fiance and I come here to walk quite often. We love how there are many points of incline on the trail to get our heart rates up. The trees are beautiful here and weve always loved the family kind of atmosphere this park offers.

This used to be my prayer and meditation spot before they started chopping down too many trees. Also, I used to walk on the trail here and take my little girl here for play time and short little picnics(mostly to play though after my walk and exercise with her in a stroller).

Great park. Beautiful. Wooded, awesome disc golf course: 18 holes with long tees and shorter tees. Good walking path and sweet duck pond. My kids live coming to feed the ducks. Theres a great playground and the park is well-kept and busy.

Beautiful, well landscaped park with a challenging, yet fairly disc friendly disc golf course. Could lose your doscs in the trees, but easier to find than a creek or river!

Beautiful park, plenty of space and benches. There were some drummers there that I got to enjoy! And the monuments are beautiful. You see a lot of veterans enjoying this beautiful place. Just be careful... there are wasps and a lot of fire ants. This is a nice place for a picnic especially for a romantic picnic. Bring a basket with some goodie!

This place is so well put together! Im not sure the distance around the whole thing, but its long enough to be interesting the whole way. There are even little built in bridges and walk paths inside the forest area if you want to get close to the creek. We went in March and there were some flowers blooming in different areas. The memorials are very well built. Im glad I brought my husband here to go for a jog!

The duck pond by the front is great to relax by. I like how the trails wrap around the whole park. There is a disc golf course that is one of my favorites as there is a nice path with it. Also, there is a decent sized garden that the volunteers keep up that makes for nice photos.

What a beautiful park and botanical garden! Ive been overseas for the past 5 years, and since returning home, Im so impressed with the improvements made around the entire DFW metroplex. The Veterans Park is a prime example of that.

This park is perfect for a quiet walk through the woods or on a paved path! The flower gardens are pretty year round, especially when the butterflies come for a fill up of nectar! The perfect place for a picnic or quiet time with your dog or a good book!

Well maintained park with extensive trails that arent frequented but for a few regular folk who take their dogs through. I come here with my dog and she can freely run the trails, and walking them gets my heart rate going. Peaceful and beautiful park.

It is truly a hidden gem in Arlington. Short trail in the woods are great for walking or even night stay (not sure about the rules).The only thing that is missing is lights. Not enough lights on the trails.

The disc golf course is killer! It is maintained by The Texas Chainwreck Crew. They do an excellent job. Only one bad thing. Someone, not sure who but city Im guessin, cut down a sweet big ol tree by holes 12 and 13.. I was sad about that. The park is pretty family friendly too by the way.. #life #dynamicdiscs #gothrow #chainbangin

One of the best parks in Arlington. The trails are great for people of all ages, and the frisbee golf area is both challenging and fun to explore. Enjoy the park or get a bit closer with nature. Also the spot you throw for hole no. 5 is perfect for watching a sunset.

This is a really nice and large park with many activities. I go for the disc golf, and this is one of the few championship-level courses around. This is a tough course, especially when the wind is blowing. I wouldnt recommend it for novice players, as there is lots of opportunity to lose discs...

This is one of my favorite parks in the area! With many parks to offer, Arlingtons veterans park might actually take the cake. The only true contender is river legacy park. Disc golf, forest trails, and playgrounds for the kiddos all kept nice and free of debris. Good work on this one arlington!
