The Baird is the fourth "part" of Meadowlands park (See my review of Meadowlands park). The Baird…read moreis like the central hub for the park serving as the community center for not just the park, but really the town, handling pretty much all recreational affairs and park usage. For my job for example, if we wanted to use the field we had to select a time to reserve it for practice with whatever sport we'd be preparing for. I like this because it's organized and fair. The Baird is also where you purchase and renew your badge for the pool which convenient. The building hosts other things such a book drives and classes for kids but also houses the Pierro Gallery where many exhibits and events take place on the second floor and are too well organized. Surrounding the Baird are basketball courts and tennis courts making feel very much a part of Meadowlands park.

So this is a hidden gem that i almost dont want to review; almost dont want people to know about…read moreit. As a trye yelper however i have to share this find! Competitive swimming pool open daily free of charge to all. When was the last time you had a nice swim for as long as you wanted for free? Like try never! Pool is clean, yes slightly dated but so well maintained. Went there today from 11am to 12, guess how many people there were on all 6 lanes? 4people! By the time i was done: there were 2 left. Yes, location sucks and really this is for people from Newark, Harrison and perhaps Karney to enjoy. Showers are dated and not all work; bring your own hair dryer. But all that doesn't bother me since i can just go home and be there in 5min. Also excellent for kids since they do have baby and toddler depths available. They plan to close it for 15 days renovation but will reopen in Nov. Also i am looking forward to their ice rink hours. Will be available later in fall. Again kids classes avaible for free (from what i hear). All in all i am impressed and will come back!

Bring a swim cap and lock for your locker. There never seems to be soap in the family bathroom, but it's nice to always have the heat on in the locker rooms.

This is the new Boys and Girls Club of Hudson County located in Jersey City. It's literally right…read moreat the Marin Blvd light rail station so it's very convenient if you're taking public transportation. If you're driving, you can usually find parking if you circle a couple times around the area. I've only played indoor soccer through Zog Sports at the gym here. This whole facility is brand new and beautiful! The gym floor alone compared to the old Boys and Girls Club (which was pretty much around the corner) is beautiful. We would slip and slide all over the place running around the old gym. It was dangerous. Everything is very clean and organized. Haven't ventured around yet since I cut it close making it on time for games. But definitely a great, new facility!

Came here this past Saturday for a 9 year old birthday party. The pros - the place is beautiful,…read morenewly built/renovated, facilities are great, basketball court has 6 nets, bleachers, etc., and the party room is good for a child's birthday. Nothing fancy, just your usual tables & chairs but the room was large enough to accommodate 50 people & the kids really only cared about playing soccer, basketball, & eating cake. The only issues; parking - none to be had! And, it's really hard to find this place with construction going on, the address doesn't come up properly on GPS, & several of the streets are dead ends. Come early so you can figure out where the building entrance is & try to find parking. Or even better, take the Light Rail to the Marin Boulevard stop & just hop on over to the building.

In terms of the facility it was easily 4 star level. But you can't leave out Location, Location, Location. The Morris Plains Community Center is in the middle of the Morris Plains Community Park! That means it is next to 5 baseball fields, 2 batting cages, 2 basketball courts, 2 tennis courts, 1 playground, 1 gated sand box, a covered picnic area, a pond, and a community pool. This place gets the 5 star rating because it is surrounded by so many options to have a good time outside. No voters were harmed during the writing of this review. And if there were, FUGETABOUTIT!!!
