Bataan Memorial Park is located on 4 acres at the NW corner of Amherst Dr. NE and Lomas Blvd. NE. It is a small park, with a beautiful Bataan Memorial on the south side, and a big open grassy area with a lot of trees in the rest of the park. According to the city website, there is one picnic table there, but I believe I saw more.
