I love Meadowland Park. My favorite thing to do is to walk around the Duck Pond. Meadowlands Park…read moreis a great resource for locals in the area. In addition to the Pond, there are Flood Hill, the tennis courts, ball fields, basketball courts, and Beard Center. The Park is easy to get to from downtown if you live in the area closer to the train station, but you can also drive here and find street parking.

Have many memories here having grown up in the area. Known to locals as "Floods Hill" because of…read morethe part of the park that is a huge attraction after a solid snow fall for sledding. Along with Floods Hill the other sections of the park include the "Duck Pond" (where the meadowlands park plack can be found) - or what used to be since geese have taken up residence for the past decade or so and thrown out the ducks. Cameron field, where baseball, softball and other field games gather and "The Baird center" which is where all of the community and recreation affairs can be handled such as registering for youth team sports and tennis lessons. I have many memories of this park where much goes on in the spring and summer including hosting festivals and used to host 4th of July festivities. Still a great place to pass through and the most sprawled and varied park in town.

I was going for a bike ride and found this gem! There's baseball fields, a paved walkway, some…read morepicnic tables, a basketball court, tennis courts, an empty paved court(maybe for dogs), a jungle gym, and street hockey field! I was amazed that they had that many things in one small park. There were mostly kids playing and a couple parents watching the little ones. It looks like you probably need a permit for the baseball field. It looks like a great place for kids that are local to go play!

I've played company softball on this field several times over the past few years. It used to be a…read morereally crappy field (read: torn up grass, weeds, divots, shoddy infield, pretty much dilapidated and forgotten-- conditions not conducive to a softball or baseball game) up until a couple years ago when it was totally renovated.* Now, it's totally, shall I, say beautiful? Well, if you like turf, it's quite nice. So, obviously it's a no cleats field. There is a really nice track that surrounds the one field as well. There are stands for observers, bathrooms (which is a HUGE plus for athletes. Trust me...when ya gotta go, ya gotta go. Also, the bathrooms are clean, AND they have soap and hand towels! I was amazed.**), and locker rooms, but those aren't open to the general public and are solely for students who go to MB high school. The field is impeccably maintained too. I saw one groundskeeper (no, it wasn't Willy) who actually raked the infield when we were finished with our game last night. I guess my only gripe is it'd be great if the infield was covered to protect it from rain. It was slightly muddy at home plate last night. Oh, and since it's almost directly under the Manhattan Bridge, it can get a little noisy, so you might have trouble hearing your infield. So, if you belong to a NYC softball league and are scheduled to play here, you're lucky, because it's one of the nicer turf fields in the city. *This could also be called "Verizon Field" if you want to be all corporate about it. I think they gave the high school money for remodeling. **Maybe if I knew you better I'd tell you of the bathroom horror stories at most softball fields...flies, no doors, port-o-potties, or no bathroom at all, which doesn't help if say, you've drunk too much Gatorade and can't stand and pee like a guy. Oh, I've said too much.

dirt infield which runs deep enough for baseball. softball outfielders will normally end up…read morestanding on the dirt. the rest of the field is turf, but non-metal cleats ARE allowed. nice views of the Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges. a previous review said turf and no cleats allowed, but that's incorrect. nice field, but well out if the way. best path is F train to east broadway stop, but that's still a 4-5 block walk from there.

Black Brook Park is 11 acres of recreational area carved into the suburban woodlands of Whippany…read more It's a great spot for a bike ride, jog, or just getting your steps in thanks to it's paved path. You can also check out the smaller field and show your support as the local little league teams play baseball on the 60 ft diamond. There's also a full sized 90 ft diamond as well as lighted tennis courts, pickle ball, basketball, roller hockey, and volleyball courts.    In the warmer months they hold concerts and live events at the gazebo area and they also have a horseshoe pit which can sometimes get competitive. Not saying I'm a ringer or nothing but I have been known to throw a shoe now and again, just don't forget to bring your wallet Lol.    This park is always well maintained and clean and they're very serious about keeping that way. Dogs are welcomed as long as they're picked up after and there are restrooms located near the front parking lots. Come And Get Your Activities On!!

Wanted to explore a new park today and found Black Brook Park, an 11-acre multi-purpose family…read morefriendly park situated in lovely Whippany (Hanover Twp), NJ. Per the township website and as is apparent once you arrive at this well-maintained, clean and beautiful park, it offers the following: Basketball court Bike and jogging path around the perimeter of the park Four lighted tennis courts Gazebo Horseshoe Pit Little League diamond (60 feet) Picnic area Playground Restrooms Standard size baseball field (90 feet) Tennis practice wall Tot playground next to the small diamond Two roller hockey courts Volleyball court Black Brook also offers a snack bar during baseball season, as well as picnic rentals. Even with overcast skies, it was great to be able to enjoy the fresh air and get the endorphins released today at such a pleasant spot. If you're a walker/runner, you may not find the perimeter of the trails adequate in terms of the stretch of trails (you can do multiple loops) but what's nice about this park is that you can venture into the very nice surrounding residential developments to get more distance in, with inclines/downhills. Great place to bring your doggie(s) too! They also have a nice little playground for the little ones. Check out Black Brook in Whippany!! :)

What a great place to hold a small softball tournament! My daughter's team played here last…read moreweekend and other than it being a little hard to find because it's tucked away down some side streets it really was an excellent softball park. With parking just across the street, an onsite concession stand, CLEAN permanent bathrooms, a great sound system, lights, a nicely manicured infield and outfield, 250' fences and both uncovered bleachers down the lines and covered seating behind the plate, this is one of the nicer places we've played that wasn't turf. I was truly glad to see that a city was willing to put money into a quality softball facility and not just a baseball facility that they could alter to use for softball. The field is a bit farther away than I'd like for a small softball tournament, but it's not TOO bad...only a little more than an hour from us. I only wish the girls would have walked away with a little hardware from this tournament, but it just wasn't meant to be. Thank you Allentown for taking care of your young softball players as well as the boys...
