Veterans Park

Nice park. It has two playgrounds one for little kids and one for big kids. Don't forget to bring some cardboard to help you go down the big cement slide!

We love this park! The playground area is great with separate space for older and smaller kids. It has a nice area for parties near the playground plus the tennis courts! It has bathrooms too!

a review from @amom2kidsandapark

Two playgrounds, tennis courts (six full tennis courts, two half tennis courts with a wall) basketball court, ball fields, and a cement slide!? This park has it all.
We were tipped to this park from a follower! Thank you!
The newer playground has a climbing some, teeter-totter (watch out for the broken plexiglass. It’s been taped up to cover any blunt edges but it’s still there), a spinning sphere, a swing set with bucket swings only, and a short structure with activities, stairs, a straight double slide, and a disk hammock. There isn’t much shade over the structure, but there is plenty by the swings (including a bench). There are two circled areas with a rock border filled with wood chips but I’m guessing these used to be a sandbox.
Over the hill is another playground with two slides (spiral and sidewinder), crawl through tunnel, steps, ladders, monkey bars, and monkey rings. This area has a swing set with standard swings only.
Separating the two playgrounds is a small hill with the CEMENT SLIDE 🤩. It isn’t too steep and therefore very smaller kid-friendly. I tried to go down without a seat and I barely moved. There were so many damp cardboards around but nothing too great. We used the change table pad in my diaper bag 🕵🏼‍♀️🤷‍♀️ and it worked perfectly.
Similar to the older Union City parks I’ve visited, this park has a lot of well-maintained cement sidewalks ideal for biking/scooting. Just like the name of the park says, there is a veteran’s memorial but it is a bit of a way away from the two play areas.
There is a bathroom nearby the playground with picnic tables and BBQs. To be closest to the playgrounds, street parking can be found on Gacoscos St or Hall Ranch Parkway.
Knocked off a star because before I took my photos I picked up an entire bag of trash. 😬

Very nice park. My kids loved the new play structures.
