Nice Park. They even provide an toilet that you can use,be it an outhouse its getting the job done (for an older woman such as I am) I dont know how the younger generation think of them though.

Average amount of homeless and tweakers, a place where all of porterville goes walking, jogging or using the skate board park. Full of fixie(bike)groups of kids. Also the south side of the park gets gusts of sewage as the park surrounds a sewage treatment area.

My family loves to walk to this park its close to our home. Just make sure you watch your kids everymove! I saw yesterday during my walk, broken Smirnoff ice bottle. Dirty needles and other trash from drug use in the park. There is a tent pitched in the back of the park with someone living in it.

Veterans Park has come a long way in looks and necessities. The playground has covered shade. I love the Benches that have been donated. The benches are made of great quality and looks, especially with the Donors names on them!!! What a great idea of recognition. Being a Senior I appreciate lots of benches, they are vital being close to the gated play area for when I take the grandchildren to play. God bless each Of those DONORS

I love this park. I love the grass space, the memorial, everything.... Except the fact that it stinks so bad because of what it is right by... We call it the poop factory!

Its the best park to walk around and there are always friendly faces. The only thing is the walkway that runs along Morton needs to be tended to. Bushes, weeds, and trees alike.

Pokémon GO Review: This park is great for Pokémon GO players. It offers more than 10 pokestops, 3 gyms, two of which are side by side, one gym is an EX raid gym and this park is also a nest! Easy walking paths with pokestops along the sidewalk.

The lights and benches are a nice touch. It is only missing basketball courts. It could use more lights down Morton. Also, it could use a path toward the tables on the that side.
