This is the park that I go to the most for the convenience of it and it also meets my basic needs.
Johnson Park is really not much to look at. It has a small play area for kids, a tennis court, and a soccer field. Most summers you'll find teams playing and the field itself is really beautiful. You can go anytime to use the field whether it's for soccer purposes or dog training purposes (which I've seen a lot of people do).
The parking is really big and convenient. I've probably never seen more than 10 cars parked there unless it was a big occasion like the 4th of July or perhaps a soccer match.
I only use the "trails" it offers to walk my dogs. The pathway is a mile down which follows the Hackensack River. It goes behind FDU and also the Bergen Academies. It's nice, quiet, and well maintained which is probably why I go so often. It's also never busy so I can go for a slow stroll without my dogs freaking out at other people/dogs.
The play area for kids could definitely be upgraded but for now, it serves the purpose I need! read more
