Very nice park in Nutley which has plenty of great park areas…read more Owens has a football field with scoreboard, and on the same field are a couple of baseball/softball fields. I'm usually not a big fan of the artificial fields but this one is nice and it does help during the rain. There are also tennis courts which are being re-done. There is a street hockey rink which was put in a few years ago as well. Bathrooms in the park are clean and convenient. There are also covered benches which are convenient during the rain too. Overall a very nice park to hang out in or watch the local Nutley sports teams games.

This is a cute park tucked away on the Bloomfield/Belleville border. There is a softball field and…read moreit also borders a portion of the Morris Canal, which the preservation society hopes to make into something of a high line type of additional recreation area. There are lots of trees and a nice walking path as well that is very pretty in the early spring when we visited. The public bathrooms were not open when we visited but they may be at other times, perhaps when it is a busier time of year. There is a parking lot if you do not live within walking distance.

I was amazed that they had that many things in one small park. There were mostly kids playing and a couple parents watching the little ones. It looks like you probably need a permit for the baseball field. It looks like a great place for kids that are local to go play!

Nothing beats the feel of real grass on an athletic field, and this one is a great example. A…read morerobust, healthy lawn is one of the primary features of this soccer field and baseball diamond. With an adjacent playground that appears to be part of the Forest Avenue School, it's an amazing place to watch your kids play their little hearts out. I'm a fan!

Fantastic Views // Lots of fun!…read more There is nothing quite like playing or watching softball in Central Park in one of the greatest cities in the world. Lot's of fun for the family.

This park is geared towards toddlers Completely fenced in…read more(although it is attached to a tennis court and the door to that was open one of the days we went. I noticed some of the kids would run into the court area... luckily no one was playing tennis) Swings - two baby swings (the bushes nearby provided some shade in this area) and two of the swings that have a regular seat and a baby seat attached to the same thing. Gazebo - there's a gazebo in the center that was on an elevated cement platform. Baby play House - there was a little play house that looked like it was for babies, like new walker age... Two play structures for kids - lots of slides Plenty of benches around the park A giant pig statue and cow statue to play on Dinosaur, airplane, and police car ride up Pretend nature themed house with a little bench in it A splash pad that was dirty and not open yet. I assume it will be cleaned first. Looks like it'll be like a couple inches of water with a giant flower shooting water down onto the kids. We have been to this park 3 times now and def will return Street parking Has restrooms Basketball courts An ice cream truck pulled up one of the times

I've played company softball on this field several times over the past few years. It used to be a…read morereally crappy field (read: torn up grass, weeds, divots, shoddy infield, pretty much dilapidated and forgotten-- conditions not conducive to a softball or baseball game) up until a couple years ago when it was totally renovated.* Now, it's totally, shall I, say beautiful? Well, if you like turf, it's quite nice. So, obviously it's a no cleats field. There is a really nice track that surrounds the one field as well. There are stands for observers, bathrooms (which is a HUGE plus for athletes. Trust me...when ya gotta go, ya gotta go. Also, the bathrooms are clean, AND they have soap and hand towels! I was amazed.**), and locker rooms, but those aren't open to the general public and are solely for students who go to MB high school. The field is impeccably maintained too. I saw one groundskeeper (no, it wasn't Willy) who actually raked the infield when we were finished with our game last night. I guess my only gripe is it'd be great if the infield was covered to protect it from rain. It was slightly muddy at home plate last night. Oh, and since it's almost directly under the Manhattan Bridge, it can get a little noisy, so you might have trouble hearing your infield. So, if you belong to a NYC softball league and are scheduled to play here, you're lucky, because it's one of the nicer turf fields in the city. *This could also be called "Verizon Field" if you want to be all corporate about it. I think they gave the high school money for remodeling. **Maybe if I knew you better I'd tell you of the bathroom horror stories at most softball fields...flies, no doors, port-o-potties, or no bathroom at all, which doesn't help if say, you've drunk too much Gatorade and can't stand and pee like a guy. Oh, I've said too much.
