Veterans Oasis Park — Attraction in Chandler

Beautiful park, Cute ducks and bunnies. A place to go every weekend to take a walk and not being in front of TV or cellphones. For the people who bring your dog, make sure to have a bag to pick up after it. They don't have a brain like ours plus it is a way to respect people who go there. If you will feed the ducks please read:

When feeding ducks at the park, you can offer them foods that are similar to what they would find in the wild, such as: Cracked corn: A good source of protein, fiber, and nutrients. It's easier for ducks to digest than whole kernels. Frozen peas: You can feed them frozen peas without cooking them, but you should defrost them first. Chopped lettuce: You can feed ducks any type of salad leaves, as long as they aren't slimy. Oats: You can feed ducks rolled oats or instant porridge oats. Birdseed: You can feed ducks birdseed or supermarket-bought seeds for human consumption. Rice: You can feed ducks both cooked and uncooked rice. Duck feed pellets: You can buy duck feed pellets or poultry starter pellets from farming or agricultural supply stores.

You should avoid feeding ducks: Bread and crackers: These have no nutritional value for ducks and can cause malnutrition and deformities. Citrus fruits: Oranges, lemons, limes, mango, and pineapple can cause digestive issues. Nuts and large seeds: Ducks don't...

UPDATED NOV 3: This community park is STILL so well-managed and focused on the visitor experience. My wife and I wanted to treat our pup to a fun, stimulating walk and Veterans Oasis Park is the perfect place for that, with people fishing all around the huge lake, children, other dogs, wildlife, etc. We were not expecting what should have been expected - given the name of the park - a tribute to Chandler's residents who served our country from as recently as a few years ago to as far back as World War 1. The walking path was lined with poster-sized mini billboards with images, histories and names of many, many of our former military. Heart-warming and such a great tribute. Very impressive. And if you find my review early enough I encourage you to drive out and walk the path and experience this tribute personally.

One of our fav go-to places to walk and bring the dog when we're in-state for the winter months. The education center is neat and interesting. Always lots of cotton-tail rabbits, black-tailed jack rabbits, numerous bird species and plenty of...

Wow! I'm in love with this park. Right from the parking lot which is so neat and spacious down to the trails, this park is immaculately clean and so aesthetically pleasing. Walking into the park, you are greeted with small gates with cute desert symbol engravings. Then, you can either go on the dirt path or take the concrete trail around the lake. It was very calm. Along the way, there's plenty of shade from trees and benches to rest at. As you walk along the lake, there's one part where the trail goes uphill (you will hear water gurgling, preceding the small waterfall). If you go uphill on the sand path- not steep and like two minute climb- you will see the source of the waterfall and a babbling brook. So cute! The waterfall itself too was very cool- it's small but beautiful. Will definitely have to come back. :)

Edit: If you take the "orienteering" side paths that stray away from the lake, there are no signs... I got lost lol! They can be confusing. Also, note: after a rain, this area gets lots...
