The trails were clearly marked and very clean, making our trek enjoyable. We hiked to the top of Tourne, enjoying the fresh air and views. We also got to explore the Emily K.

I have spent a LOT of time at Jannerone Park over the years and I thought it was time to give it a…read morereview... Jannarone was built a few years after we moved into town and is close enought for us to walk to for games and practices. When it first went in, we weren't happy about the lights and the whistles late at night, but we've grown accustomed to it over the years and it's just become background noise now. Our kids have played numerous soccer games here, our son is just finishing up his first season of lacrosse, and we sled here every winter so we know the park quite well and have gotten a lot of use out of it. The park itself includes a huge multipurpose turf field that is used for football, soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey. The turf is surrounded by a paved walking track (not a 'real' track) which is nice to have during practices that are conflicting with your gym time...five times around equals a mile here. The turf field also includes a nice scoreboard and an elevated announcers/videographers box. Across a parking lot there is also a decent baseball field set up for regulation play (60' 6" mound and 90 ft bases). Field is pretty nice, but doesn't drain well so it gets closed a lot after it rains-it doesn't get the use I thought it would, but it's nice to be able to use it with the kids for practice. Other facilities here include restrooms (heated in the winter) and during football games at least they also have a concession stand. For all the NIMBYs in my town who didn't want the high school fields turfed because they didn't want their lives disrupted I call BS. Having a lighted, turf field this close is great and has been a huge benefit to the kids in this town. Our HS teams deserve the same benefit.

It might be unclear what counts a trail, but please be careful as you try to get those rushing river videos. The elevation changes that make Boonton fascinating also mean there might not be as many park entrances as you'd like, but the new bridge certainly helps. Boonton has been a staycation mainstay, partly because of its odd weekday-only train schedule but also because of its unique structure and mood. I can't think of any place in New Jersey that feels more like upstate New York, but if I'm wrong please let me know.

With the waterfall going near the gazebo, trees all around, it is a beautiful location for events small and medium. (Large events would have to be up in the Township anyway, no huge spaces in Boonton proper.) I have been to several of those events and seen dozens - even hundreds - of people enjoying themselves, relaxing in sun and shade, playing on the modern and safe playground, walking up and down the Rockaway River trail with the newly restored 19th century bridge. I highly recommend anyone visiting Boonton (family, friends, restaurants, real estate...) make Grace Lord a part of their day - along with walking through downtown - to understand what makes this town special.

The complex is easily accessible from Rt. 46 and there's a decent amount of parking available. The public bathrooms are closed from November - April, something to keep in mind if you plan on visiting for a few hours. Unfortunately, people seem to think the soccer field is a nice dumping spot for trash, especially water bottles, and other than that area, the field is mostly clean. P.S. the world is not your trash can, stop littering.

The park's name says it all- it's a beautiful, clean and well-maintained memorial to our country's vets and the least we can do is honor them as such. The physical monument area at the front is lovely. If you're looking for a way to pay tribute, pray/meditate, or simply would like to take time to visit an area dedicated to all branches of our unstoppable military, then you will enjoy your time here. The memorial is situated to the immediate right once you enter the park. Past the Marine's crossing mini bridge over the brook, you'll see an artificial turf field to your right (very nice) and the natural field space to your left. There's a small outdoor fitness station here, a perimeter walk/run path, a gazebo/bandstand which is mainly utilized for events, and a small, more narrow paved footpath network within the perimeter to the left. This more narrow set of paths is good if the natural perimeter trail is muddy. There's also a playground here. Per the town website, this park offers: 1 Mile of walking paths Large bandstand Lawn area for summer concerts Multi-purpose, artificial turf, illuminated field Picnic shelter with electricity and a charcoal grill that can be reserved Stunning memorial honoring all veterans of our Armed Forces Head on over! It's a great park and wonderful tribute. Thanks to all vets and those who serve. God bless you.

They also have a nice 1-mile walking path right in the park...so when you just can't watch the 500th soccer game/practice for your kid, you can actually get some exercise. There is a beautiful memorial in the park honoring all veterans and the town does a very nice job with the ceremonies during the two holidays. The park is located across the street from a veterans cemetery and is pretty easy to get into on a normal day. For large events, parking and exiting is simply a nightmare unless the police are directing traffic, but that's really the only negative thing I can say about this park.

We went to the center for our daughter to participate in butterfly feeding event. Upon arrival we found out we had to buy the tickets for one of the two scheduled events. Luckily there were slots available to the second event on the day. The ticket was reasonably cheap, only $8. It also came with an additional bird's exhibition that took place right in front of office deck. All the stuff members were very friendly, informative and interactive. We spent wonderful couple of hours here on beautiful warm summer day.
