Only for few places I've selfishly felt writing about it will make it more popular and I might not…read moreenjoy the place all by myself - this is one among them. Just while searching for beaches in a 30 minute driving radius, we ran into this gem of a park that's so well maintained. They have ample free parking and the walk to the bay is so quick. The bay might not be the best to walk on as sand is relatively less with more gravels and getting down to it from the stairs is little difficult even for well grown adults. This could definitely be wheelchair accessible in a certain way. They also have few picnic enclosures and a memorial to one of their town's fallen soldiers. The walking pavement is neatly laid out for a calm, peaceful and relaxing walk. We went on overcast conditions and had to return to the car just before the rain caught up. Will definitely return here for summers to watch the sunset in this beautiful bay/park.

The dogs love walking here, as well as the humans. :) The marshes are so cool, and there's educational information everywhere. Make sure you wear good sneakers! Plenty to do and see in here, you will never run out of new options.

Thomas Edison Park has its own parking lot (which has a lot of potholes), but if you're here to use one of the 16 tennis courts, parking in one of the MCC lots and walking through the chain-link fence gate is quicker. From dawn to dusk on weekdays, the gate leading to Rartian Center is open, which allows office employees to take walks in the park during lunchtime. The baseball, softball, and soccer fields are popular with locals on the weekends, as evidenced by the contents of nearby trash cans. The asphalt walkways are popular with the cheeky Canadian geese, who seem to enjoy deliberately defecating where people walk rather than on the grass. Metal benches and bleachers are strewn throughout the park, along with some wooden picnic tables by the parking lot. Interestingly, this park is the only one in Middlesex County designated as a "Model Airplane Field". Since the wide, open, unobstructed fields here lend themselves to being very windy, this park is also a good place to fly kites.

As I make my way around the interesting town of South River I have discovered another hidden gem…read more The Edward A. Grekoski Park. This is another Public Park in South River and it is enormous! It sits on the South River and encompasses over 58 acres. Is was previously called Bissett's Pond Park. Not sure why they changed the name. The Park still has its pond. It also has nice walking areas which are perfect for the seniors who live in the senior housing across the street. There is also a play area for the kids and a baseball field. A nice big park in a neat little town.

However, I have been to other parks that have so much more, and the shame for me this one is, they don't seem to have a path to walk around. One of the big positives here is that there is a lake, with a big geyser in the middle which is nice to look at! Overall, good park, and if you're in the area, maybe check it out!

Small beach area to walk a little, maybe bring a dog; though be cautious of hooks, rocks, and other items. When I was a kid the beach was a lot bigger but they made the water walk and sidewalk above bigger, now the beach is a sliver. I would get a raft and float with it tied to the beach to enjoy the outside. Plenty of parking both street and lot. The benches are not the most comfortable, metal and thin. But they have holes for umbrellas if you want to do a lunch, or enjoy book club outdoors. The skyline isn't much but sunsets can make even the most industrial of places appealing. there are bathrooms but I've heard they're never open and I saw a porta potty the last time I was there. I think there's an official 'park' someone who either checks safety or fishing permits, I'm not sure. Down the block you have Moby Dicks, a small park with outdoor fitness, bikes to rent, and a new concert area for live music. Nice breeze and good place to just relax.

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.

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.
