It is a must visit to enjoy the outdoors in Newburgh. read more

This park is fantastic! Play area, workout area, hiking, biking, bbq grills, boat rentals, etc...this place has it all. Per day entry fees - $20.00 non resident of OC, but $40.00 for the season. This lake has some pretty decent LM Bass fishing, and plenty of Panfish. They routinely host free events such as outdoor movies and concerts. Theres a roller hockey rink and basketball courts... Winter? No problem, bust out the ice skates and ice fishing gear. This park is a pleasure to visit and a regular stop for my family.... I wouldve given 5 stars, but the boat rentals are pricey at $20.00 and the boats are a bit beat up...at least they allow trolling motors... read more

Chadwick Lake Park - Parks Near Me - Newburgh, New York

Great Playscape for kids. My grands always have fun. Safe area. I wish the bathrooms were closer to the play area.

Great place to take a peaceful walk. I highly recommend. I been there a few times and going once around the pond yields over 4 miles. The bathrooms are very clean . read more

Chadwick lake is a great place to exercise, leisurely walk, bring your kids to the playground, have an outdoor event, etc. Theres a nice 4 mile loop around the lake that is dog friendly! It took me and my dog just over an hour to complete it. Theres a bunch of benches along the way, with "rest areas". Lots of garbage cans too. The playground looks massive and theres at least 4 pavilions of varying sizes for events. Overall great park! If you are a town of newburgh resident you can get a yearly permit for 20 dollars. read more

THIS REVIEW IS STRICTLY ONLY ABOUT THE TRUNK OR TREAT EVENT HELD ON , 10/25/2019 This is the parks "Annual" event that is held every year. This was our first time ever going. Upon arriving , the second we turned off of route 300 by the light the traffic was bumper to bumper , continuing up the hill towards the park their was SO much traffic, police everywhere directing cars and letting people know that the parks Parking lot was completely filled. The event started at 6pm and at the time we arrived it was around 6:30pm so only a 1/2 hour into the event . We turned onto some side road that took us to another road and finally found a parking spot on the side of some street . We parked about a 1/2 mile away.‍ The road we walked down was so lined with cars that their was no 2 way for cars to pass one another . My husband had to actually help 2 cars back up so that one could go up the road and the other could exit the road. When we entered the park their was no one directing the crowd to let them know where anything was. I had to ask one of the guys directing traffic. Once we found the line for the trunk or treat we couldn't believe our eyes. The line was over a mile long , it reached all the way past the trail that runs alongside the lake and the playground. I HAVE TO SAY THOUGH, the line moved pretty fast. We were only in line for less then a 1/2 hour. BUT THE THING THAT TICKED ME OFF WAS WHEN WE GOT TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE TO ACTUALLY WALK DOWN THE NEXT TRAIL THAT LED TO THE SMALLER PARKING LOT WHERE THE EVENT WAS. Was , I thought someone was controlling the line and only allowing a certain amount of people in at a time , but once we got to the front I realized that wasn't the case at all!!! THERE WAS NO ONE HANDLING THE CROWD! IT WAS THE CROWD HANDLING THE CROWD!‍ And what was taking so long was that people were stopping at the front to enter under this Halloween decoration arch way thing to take selfies. THIS IS WHAT WAS HOLDING THE LINE UP! So once you got past that point you walk down the paved walkway towards the actual event and you stumble upon yet another LONG line!‍ So overall their was maybe 50 cars participating in this event. Which was being held in the smaller parking lot over by the boat house. Just about each car was giving out 1-2 pieces of candy with about maybe 4 cars giving handfuls. This event was supposed to be over at 8pm but went way past it due to the amount of people. Their had to be over 2,000 people at this event. The organizers who put this on had to have some what of an idea because they were telling the people who were putting their cars in to participate to have 3,000 pieces of candy ready. SO WHOEVER THESE ORGANIZERS WERE THEY SHOULD OF DID A WAY WAY WAY BETTWR JOB AT HAVING MORE WORKERS CONTROLLING THE CROWD, moving people along , & directing people. The people/families that were stopping to get photos created a huge traffic jam. FOR A SUGGESTION FOR NEXT YEAR- Create a photo op separate from everything else so that the line does not get held up and everything runs smoothly and efficiently. I wouldn't do this again. From what I heard this is the 5th year and it just gets bigger and bigger (crowd wise). I think we'd have better luck at a small town trunk or treat event. You get more candy and the crowds are smaller. Just to add: The Dj that was @ this event , was great! He played a variety of songs and had everyone dancing. read more

Chadwick Lake Park - This is the second line that leads to the actual event once you got past the 1st line that was by the playground. - Parks Near Me - Newburgh, New York

I love this park but visiting comes at a premium ($$$). If you don't live in Newburgh it'll cost you about a whopping $50 for your immediate family members; Newburgh residents still pay but about half that cost. The cost to access the park is an annual pass so you are paying for a yearly pass. I thought this was just a fee for my vehicle to get access to the park for ANY family and friends but I learned fast that was not the case. When I visited with a friend they did charge me an additional fee (like $5 per person) because the friend was not my spouse or child (under 18 yrs). So if you buy a pass be ready to pay more if you bring friends or extended family members. Otherwise for the annual fee you get unlimited access to the park for you and your immediate family (spouse & children). While it's annoying to pay so much to access this park you'll notice immediately that they are most certainly using the money they make to keep the park looking beautiful! The kids park was renovated in recent years (several years ago) so it all still looks brand new. The park maintains the walking/hiking trails around the lake (about 4-5 miles distance). The trail is fairly flat so it's not a difficult or challenging walk/hike with several gazebos along the trails for any breaks you may need. The park has a nice small hockey rink, nice basketball courts and other amenities. This park is absolutely beautiful and VERY well maintained. I cheerfully pay the premium to access this park because the town is not pocketing the cash but using it to keep the park beautiful. If you like to fish they also have boats available for rent so if you want to fish or just row around you have that option. If you fish ask about fishing regulations because they differ from state laws since technically this is a private town lake/park. If you live near this park and have kids it's definitely worth the price of admission. If you don't have kids it probably isn't really worth the cost unless you want to get access to the lake for fishing which is my main purpose for using the park. read more

Beautifully maintained park that has something for everyone. Great walking trail around the lake, the playground is perfect for the little ones and they have nice pavilions too. I didn't give 5 stars because the one down fall is the playground isn't shaded and the rubberized floor gets extremely hot on sunny days. read more
