The land for this 350 acre park was originally part of the John Abbott II farm. The old farm house (circa 1730), the foundation of the barn, a smoke house, a doctor’s office (1840) and herb garden can all be seen in the historic area at the South Entrance. The land was purchased for the park in 1977. The acreage is about to be increased to 450 acres.

Administered by the Hamilton Township Department of Parks and Recreation, this multiuse park has walking and bike paths, as well as many other facilities. The recreation facilities include a playground, picnic areas, formal gardens, a shallow lake, and numerous memorials at the North Entrance area. At the South Entrance area a large number of athletic fields and courts are concentrated. These include baseball fields, tennis, bocce, croquet, badminton, and shuffleboard courts as well as two dog parks. The historic area near the entrance includes a Civil War and Native American Museum. An amphitheater is proposed for the area near the red and blue trails.

At the West Entrance area the parking overlooks the lake. The bike trail goes along the top of the dam and hence into the woods. Access to the Bog Boardwalk is from this parking lot.

Maps of Veterans Park can be picked up in the Maintenance/Security Office at the South Entrance during weekday office hours. The park is open only during daylight hours.
