At the entrance to the stadium is Veterans Memorial Park, a beautiful spot to honor and reflect on the sacrifices of the many Herkimer County citizens who have served our country. Just beyond the stadium is the Lloyd and Carol Bull Nature Center, a college and community resource, featuring an interpretive nature trail, cross country ski trail system and cross-country running course.
