I came back shortly after my first review for a picnic so I was able to explore a little more!…read more My boyfriend and I were able to find a parking spot on 48th street which was perfect since there was a path leading down to the park. 48th street is a dead-end with multiple spots which are in front of houses so you may find a spot if you're lucky. My boyfriend and I walked from our spot to a space overlooking the water. On our walk there I saw a cute bike and walking/running paths along the way so I definitely know where I'll be going my next walk! At first, I wasn't sure if we could sit on the grass since I didn't see many people sitting on it around us but once we set everything up park patrol just drove by and that's it. I like how park patrol drives around as it makes me feel safe and secure. As time went on, the park started getting a bit more crowded with adults and children biking, walking, running, skating but nothing too crazy. It was nice to see everyone enjoying the weather! Can't wait to go back to check out the walking paths!

Yes this is still one of my favorite parks in Newark, I wish it was a little closer to me bc I…read morewould definitely come here more often! You can come here and get a good burn on, mild hiking and just steep enough to not overwhelm you. But I'm writing about the House Music Festival held here! MUSIC IS LIFE! I came to the HMF after the Taco Fest to dance those calories off, and boy did I!!! House music will never die! It's just fun to reminisce about those good old days in the 80's when my friends and I would sneak into the clubs and just dance(and meet dudes but shhhhhh! XD) Haha those beats are still hittin bc the park was STILL packed with patrons dancing the night away. Peaceful gathering Life is short Life is unpredictable Life is a gift..... Dance your ass off, Baby! Yeah!! Be good YELPies mwah!

I've been coming to this park to workout for years and have always enjoyed the trail and view of…read morethe lake. It's a little over 2 miles long with steep hills so once around usually gets my heart rate jumping. There are about 4 resting stations that double as little workout areas - pullup bars, benches, etc. and in the summertime the fellas really show out. The park also has a golf course, two soccer fields, basketball court, small playground, and a football field with an additional track. They've updated one of the soccer fields and added more night lighting, it really looks a lot better than what it used too.

The pond and paved walkways are easy to explore. There are workout stations everywhere and there…read moreis tons of parking. I saw a swan hanging out with ducks when I was there. They stock the pond with fish, just make sure you have a license. I wish it wasn't so littered and that most of it was something other than alcohol containers and cogar wrappers.

safe park with lots to do and enjoy, its always a breath of fresh air whenever i get to come here .read more

Glad I went to this place for a walk , and bird viewing . I looked up google reviews and found this…read moreplace . Location wise it's not the best , but inc you go in , it's Ana amazing place to walk . Parking is a bit small but does fit 20 cars ! The entrance is through a road which is deserted ! I just loved the trial walk . The wooden path is just amazing ! The overall walk is about 1.5 kms per loop .. so 2-3 loops will give you a 5K .. you can also divert off the wooden walkways and walk on the gravel to the back of the Rahway River /lake . Good bird sightings . Saw good ones and could take pics . I also saw woodpeckers but could t take pics ! Loved it overall . Very good place .

I'm intrigued. Went today... cool spring afternoon. Hidden near refinery and landfill. Where do I…read morebegin? Quiet. Erie or peaceful? I think both. Creepy? A little Hidden? Very Unsettling? Kept looking back and around for other people. Saw a small family, a couple, a man and baby son, a lone guy, a guy with a bike. Still kept looking around. Path: mostly boardwalk and pebbled paths. Tall grass and trees doesn't let you see across path. Path has shade from trees. River/creek/marsh: it was dry, low tide. Didn't see any wildlife there. Smells salty. Tall deer fence: I guess to keep the deer off path? Pretty sure deer can go around it. Signs posted along path with information. No dogs allowed. Views: not much. Lots of tall grass and trees. And the landfill mountain. Very insulated. I wouldn't go alone. You can't see in or out. Poison ivy EVERYWHERE!!!!! Don't touch anything! I did like that there are lots of birds and you can hear them all. It's very quiet and has a good nature feel. I will go back to explore more. I think there needs to be more patrol or surveillance cameras.

There is a mile long loop path that encircles the park made of recycled tire - comfortable to walk on and well maintained. Off this main trail is a dirt path that leads to Kean University and food (Panera, Chipotle, Coldstone, and more). There's a baseball diamond and a soccer field, also. The bridge that leads to another hiking trail is closed, but you can easily walk around the stream to get to the trail. The hiking trail itself is not well kept the further in you go, mostly rocks and dirt. It gets very narrow and basically leads to a stream and not much else. There are also many ticks so be careful. Gets very busy weekday mornings with people walking the paths, and weekends staring in the afternoon.

A beautiful park and especially at night :)…read more I stopped by recently with my girlfriend so she could show me all it has to offer and it has a lot. It has a beautiful view of the bridge and the docks, an amazing garden, gorgeous gazebos, and so much to offer a wide variety of people just looking to take a walk or play some hoops. It's safe anytime of the day and there is always a police presence here. I could spend hours here doing nothing but enjoying it for all that it is while laying on a blanket people watching. See you again soon :)
