In theory, I like this pool a lot; it’s very clean, has a variety of activities (water slide, raindrop kiddie pool, etc.), and affordable at $ 5/​visit. However, I can’t give it a higher rating, because for all its positives, the fact that there’s no policy to keep the lanes clear for people swimming laps is massively aggravating. Kids and adults alike use the lanes as chill-​out and play spots, and the staff never deter them, despite the fact that there’s plenty of space in the main pool area. Every time I try to swim laps, I have to give up because my path is totally obstructed. Would it really be so hard to designate the lanes to people of all ages who want lap space? Isn’t that what they’re meant for? I don’t get it.

I like Vet’s for several reasons: 1. It’s close to my apartment. 2. It has a pool, an ice rink, snow hill, softball fields, and the new skate park. & tennis courts so it has something to appeal to everyone. 3. There’s still plenty of room to take a walk around the park. What’s not to like? :)

Love this park near my house. Lots to do in any season – summer time? Baseball diamonds, green fields, tennis courts, a swimming pool, and the brand new (and super amazing) skate park. Winter? A sledding hill, skating rink and indoor fitness center. Fall and spring? Beautiful colors and foliage to admire.
Local baseball teams play here so if you like to watch you can swing by and take in a game. Knight’s and Plum Market are walking distance which makes takeout/​picnics a breeze. Plenty of parking and water fountains also have a small bowl at the bottom for pups.
A welcoming, lovely place to spend time outdoors any time of the year!

This is a review of the ice skating rink. We went on a Sunday from 1 – 2:30pm, and it wasn’t very crowded, which was good. The ice was in good shape, and there were lots of walkers available for the beginning skaters. The rental skates were great – I’ve actually never had rentals with blades as sharp as the ones on the hockey skates I rented.
Minus 1 star for limited bench space and bathrooms that could’ve been cleaner.

I am reviewing the ice rink that is part of Veterans Memorial Park. I have played many hockey games here on Friday nights as part of a rec women’s hockey league. The league is great — very easy going and beginner-​friendly. There is one sheet of ice here — and it is decent. I’ve played in a fog here when it has been unexpectedly warm and humid. The locker rooms are in good shape.
Would I shower here? Yes.

****** DANGER DANGER*******
I won’t go to the Veterans Pool until they fix the kiddie pool. There is metal piece that connects to a wheel («part is being ordered») that sticks out and is an incredible hazard for children. It is on the Water Drop toy in the kiddie pool. Only a little slip and your child could be seriously injured. I asked the Pool Manager if they could cover it with something and they said no. In fact, no one at the Pool seems concerned.
I moved my kids to the other section of the pool only to be told that we couldn’t use our noodles in that section, that they could only be used in the kiddie pool. I decided to leave the pool rather than spend any more time at the pool.
I am very disappointed in the lack of concern by the Pool staff and city. I guess the only way to get there attention is after an accident occurs. So sad…

I went to the pool at Vet’s Park today for the first time. It was really nice!
There are plenty of lounge chairs and lots of space to put them so you don’t have to be on top of your neighbors. Everything looks really clean, and there were at least 4 lifeguards working, so it seems pretty safe.
It costs $ 4 to get in, and you can bring in your own food and drinks, so it makes for an inexpensive afternoon. They also have vending machines so you can buy food/​drinks/​ice cream if you wish.

I only know one thing about this place so far… it has a great sledding hill! there are a lot of kids though, so be careful to not sled into them…

Any one part of Veterans Memorial Park is just so-​so, but as a whole, it’s pretty good.
Indoor amenities include a pool, an ice rink and a snack bar. Outdoors, there are lit baseball and softball diamonds, tennis courts, a sledding hill, some paved paths and a park shelter that can be rented.
When I’ve spent time in this park, it’s mostly been outside, walking around the paths that circle the diamonds. They’re well shaded by huge oak and maple trees that grow throughout the park.
The park is right across from the Maple Village shopping center, and it’d be a nice place to come picnic after buying food at one of the restaurants or the Plum Market there. I used to stretch my legs at this park after sitting at a desk job all day when I worked on that side of the city.

This is the outdoor pool to come to in the summer when your a kid. They have a water slide, diving board, and a kiddie pool with all kinds of sprinklers. When I was younger they had a really high up diving board that made you feel so cool if you had the guts to jump off of it.
This is a good place for families but it gets really crowded. Now that I am older a public crowded pool kind of seems gross. But when your a kid you just don’t care.
