History

Originally dedicated in 1993 as Lehigh Community Park South; however, the park's name was soon changed in 1994 to Veterans Park in honor of our country's veterans.
Phase I (1993) consisted of a lake, pavilion, one unlit outdoor basketball court, concrete skate park bowl, playground, hill, and picnic areas.
Phase II (2002-03) includes the large Recreation Center, lighted adult softball fields, additional parking, enlarged lake, and maintenance compound.
Phase III has two covered, lighted basketball courts, four lighted tennis courts, and splash playground.
Phase IV (2013) includes a four-acre multi-purpose athletic field, a handball court, additional picnic areas, and a new dog park – Paws 4 Duty.
The James F. Crockford Jr. Memorial Walkway is lined with Oak trees donated by individuals honoring specific veterans.
