You can watch sunset between woods. This park has picnic area and barbecue grill. They also have outlet for phone charging and music system which is very cool to have in park. They have few court for playing like tennis and baseball. They have little walking trail and gazebo and also it two playground for kids. And that's not it, they do have changing room and bathroom.

The walking path can fit…read moreup to three moms with strollers, which is important to me because I always walk with a fellow mom! Most parks paths are narrow so we end up, one infront of the other, yelling our conversations over our shoulders. I also like that this park is so spacious and well kept. Picnic tables and grills are amazing. Had I known about this park sooner (I just moved in the area recently), I would have come here from the beginning! Mommy approved!

Thomae Park is one of many small township parks that started from humble beginnings. In the early…read more1970s there was just a low lying piece of township land until residents built a playground from discarded car tires. Now there is a baseball field, basketball court and a proper playground as well as open field space where soccer and football is played. Thomae Park hosts many neighborhood events and township recreation ball games. An unpaved parking area can accommodate more than a dozen cars and makes a great starting spot for a walk along the Green Brook which by the way holds some nice fish.

No one is dribbling a ball and there isn't one to try and steal. It's just a giant game of tag. This place is a HUGE waste of money! DO NOT SEND YOUR KID HERE!

There's a smaller section for small toddlers (smaller slides, a little house attached to it, etc.) and also a larger section for kids 5+ (larger slides, balance ropes, etc.). Both sections have some overhead coverage but the park itself is not shaded. There's also a separate area where the swings are and also a climbing rock/boulder. There's basketball courts adjacent to the kids playground and a good amount of parking. It's definitely one of the cleaner and newer parks around and would definitely recommend checking it out.

I've been coming to this YMCA since I moved to Union a few years back! I love it!…read more All shapes and sizes, fitness levels, young and old, different nationalities and families. There is no pretentiousness here, staff is always friendly and encourage people to try different classes. They have many different classes all the way from Tai-Chi to HIIT, and the most popular and numerous class Zumba! The classes are 45 min classes which suits your average Y member just fine. All of the instructors are very encouraging and nice! They have a gym area with a lot of cardio and weight machines, a small area in the back for all the hardcore types. They do not pump music into the gym area. They also have a Kinesis studio and a cycle room. All areas including the locker rooms are very clean and well kept. Free childcare is also offered! There is a small cafe in the lobby that is open during the day. The other gym on Tucker Ave is where the pool and indoor basketball courts are, they have a small gym there too, but it has older machines. The price is great; I pay $83 a month for a family membership. Many times during the year they offer free signup.

Being nice and patient when you're receptionist should be a basic requirement. I strongly suggest they allow drop-in class for the group classes, in order you can try them, at least once. And add more fitness classes (like yoga, zumba, pilates, etc.) after workday. On another note, yoga teachers (Jenniera and JoAnn) are good!

In my opinion, there is a lot you learn in college that is pivotal to teach younger children how to play baseball. My experience alone with Anthony Feltre was not the best, as the staff acts in a very unprofessional manner. I played baseball in college and in high school in nj. There are much better places like CKs, in the zone, and RPP which have coaches that have played at that division 1 or college level.

Some of the park's attractions include: * Bocce Ball Courts * Delaware & Raritan (D&R) Canal State Park Trail Access * Dog Park * Fishing * Fitness Trail * Golf Course * Large Playground * Miniature Golf * Nature Trails * Paddle Boating (Duck Boats) * Picnic Pavilions * Rose Garden & Sensory and Fragrance Garden * Spray Park * Tennis & Pickleball Courts The park also connects directly to the Delaware & Raritan (D&R) Canal State Park Trail via a pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the canal. I've walked throughout the park and along the D&R Trail. Fitness stations are located along portions of the trail, and it's easy to create a scenic loop that passes the photogenic Stone Cottage and the spectacular Rose Garden area. The Splash Park is incredibly popular with families. On hot, sunny days, parking near the playground can be hard to find. So far, I've enjoyed the duck boats, miniature golf, fitness trail, nature trails, Rose Garden, and Splash Park. Next on my list are the bocce courts, which appear to be in excellent condition. If you're visiting the area, Colonial Park is a destination well worth your time.
