Great place for kids to run around and release their energy. Ice cream truck and shaved ice truck on site. Good for the summer. The park playground is well maintained. It's spread out to different sections. It has for bigger kids and smaller toddlers. Many staff at the Carousel and train. Well organized. Tix required. It could be a long wait during weekends. Overall a great place for kids. Easily spend a day here.

We went to Cooper's Pond Park a few weeks ago in the afternoon. A short, nature walk with our…read morefamily, it was serene and scenic. The walking path was good to follow along and it was peaceful for all visitors. We watched as several people were fishing by Cooper's pond. Looked like a great activity to do together or solo. Plenty of great water views at different angles. Bike paths were used along the nature paths too. For a short trip out in nature, this was a beautiful place to go. Ducks and geese were all around, watch out for their poop! Enjoy their presence.

We were in the area and looking for a nice spot to relax and take some photos. I looked on Google…read moreMaps and saw this park nearby. I saw that there was a nice pond in the middle (great for photos) as well as some walking trails and a few tennis courts. We just happened to have our balls and rackets in the car so this was a bonus. We arrived and were surprised to see that on a nice sunny mid-afternoon Saturday, the place was practically empty. We first drove around the loop looking for what was available. We found the gated tennis courts (3 Courts) that were empty. We went in and knocked around a few balls for about half hours before we decided to walk further around the park. We saw a father and son (presumably) that were fishing which was nice to see. There was a large gazebo in the park as well, which could possibly be rented for occasions. (I know many parks have that option) We snapped some photos around the pond which came out great but be mindful that as with every pond, there are lots of bugs lurking. So don't forget the bug spray. The park was very well kept, I was impressed. There were a few trails that presumably lead to the eastern end of the park but we did not take them...maybe next time. Overall we had a great time at this park. A nice place to play tennis, walk, run or fish?! (I am not sure if a license is required). Enjoy!

The only drawback from me was that there were a number of people in the park with their dogs unleashed and the dog should be leashed . Which makes it difficult and unnerving for a runner to see a dog come out and not see the owner close by.

The parking lot is big and there is a bathroom, which is appreciated. I took a look at the trail map before I left to find one of a decent length, so check out options, but the trails are well-marked. Once you get past the main train next to the lake, you can find yourself pretty alone except for another occasional hiker, but you can vibe with nature, see a waterfall, and just breathe in the fresh air. Some of the trails are long, but I paced one that was only a couple of miles and still got some nice scenery and a lot of steps in. It's great this park isn't too far from the urban areas of Northern NJ and there are many trail options so you can visit again and experience something new. There's also a sign for trout fishing if that's your thing. Check it out if you want to get away for the day.

The trail is paved and next to the stream, parallel with Paramus Ave. It goes through Glen Rock, Paramus, Fair Lawn and Rochelle Park. It splits in a few areas and there's a few different entry points and parks along the way. The path could be busy. I think most the walkers are annoyed at the bike riders for passing them by quickly, but the riders are annoyed at the walkers for taking up space and not staying to the right. In the map, you can see where the trails splits and can take the alternate path. It was great for a bike ride, except I walked it in a few areas and hopefully I don't get poison ivy. There were baseball fields, basketball courts, pavilions and an abandoned tennis court. There was a waterfall, a lookout tower and a building from the 1800's. The underpasses/bridges were nicely boarded and the trail is very clean. This park is very basic. There was nothing extraordinary about it. I think if your in the area and it's convenient to walk or ride through, it's nice, but it's not worth going out of your way.

It was warm and I'd much rather skip a spinning class to take in nature instead. There were families, dog walkers, joggers and bikers all enjoying spring. Quite a few deer were wondering around. Plenty of birds, most notably very large redheaded woodpecker making a terrible racket. Just kidding, I really enjoyed watching him poke for bugs. This park is a long stretch of greenway following both sides of a creek. There are mile markers that take you through different towns. I think I only did about a mile and a half of it, but I'm looking forward to coming back now that it's warmer, and exploring the different bridges and trails.
