Veterans Park — Attraction in Mentor

Awesome,Very Clean,Family Oriented,Beautiful place! Nice paved trails for walking ,running,biking,and fishing. Decent fishing for all ages. Stocked with ,largemouth bass, catfish, trout,and bluegill. Best times to fish it with kids is in the spring and fall after the yearly stockings have occurred. Park Rangers frequent the area and patrol regularly, are very informative, polite, friendly, knowledgeable of the area and regulations. Also Mentor police frequently patrol the area (hats off to the law inforcement in the area!) which provides a very safe environment for families and individuals alike. I would definitely recommend this place if you just love being outdoors walking around ,single or with family. If you like places that arent overly congested and crowded with people. ( certain times are busy here though) If you want your kids to catch something, anything at all for sure this is the place. lol There us a fireplace under the pavilions for all to enjoy when not rented out. Free wood to use in that facility only. (NO YOU DONT GET FREE WOOD TO TAKE HOME OR CAMPING) AWESOME PLACE TO RELAX AND ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS...

My Grandson brought me here to fish when I came up from Carroll county Ohio to visit. I've been here several times over the last few years and I have never found this park to be in disarray. The lake is populated with a nice healthy variety of fish . We practice Catch And Release everywhere we fish . You folks have a really nice park. While there , everyone I've met and talked with enjoys this park. There are many areas to picnic and clear trails to walk through the woods . Plenty of space for families to spend the day. I have not been in the restrooms but would be very surprised to learn that the facilities aren't clean and orderly . We are always happy to visit this park. Thank you for making it so enjoyable.

This park has a large pond with multiple small fishing piers. When I was there hiking I saw lots of people fishing off the piers. There are several walking trails which are nice and easy to walk since they are not hilly. You can walk around the edge of the water for a bit but then you have to circle back as the trail kind of dead ends. The trails feature lots of large trees so it's a nice shady walk. There is a large parking lot, a nice pavilion, restrooms, as well as a playground near the parking lot. This was actually my first visit to the park but I will definitely return as it is a fantastic place to do some light hiking, photography, and enjoy some time...
