I am also so happy that Wheeler park welcomes everyone from all over NJ (and elsewhere). Coming from out of the county will cost you a bit more, but not much. If you live outside of Union County it is $4.00 for kids ($2.00 in county) and $6.00 for adults ($3.00 in county). This splash pad has every water feature a kid could ever need - from bigger twisty water slides, to a small dragon water slide. Also, water guns that you can shoot each other with, a pirate boat, water shooting up from the ground, and much more. My kids spent a little over 2 hours here and had an absolute blast. We've been here about 3 times and it never disappoints. Just be sure to bring some sort of shade covering. There isn't much cover at the splash pad so we usually bring our small beach tent with us. There is also a dry playground in the splash pad gated area where kids can play too. They have staff who help keep the kids safe and to make sure everyone goes down the water slides safe and sound. I highly recommend Wheeler Spray Park on a hot summer day.

My husband and I have been enjoying walks in this park for decades, and during the covid pandemic, this park provided exercise and a respite to many weary souls. The people continued coming to this gem of nature with its smooth, well maintained trails by the Raritan River and some more off the beaten path trails by the Raritan Canal. In the Spring, we look at the beautiful bluebell and buttercup flowers. In the Autumn, we look at the Fall palette of the leaves and enjoy watching the highjinks of the migrating geese. There are also bald eagles, herons, egrets, cormorants, ducks, kingfishers and a variety of songbirds. It is a nature lovers paradise with easy access for all, including the elderly and the disabled. There are also amenities - picnic tables, gazebos and grills, sports fields, a childrens' playground, Summer concerts, and clean restrooms. And locals walk their dogs here. This park is a gift to the people!

There's a nice long well paved pathway surrounded by tons of trees. There's a small playground by one of the parking lots. They have a nice stadium like area with tons of seating. This is my favorite spot in the park. It's nice to just sit here and relax and enjoy the nature outdoors. On the weekends the park gets really packed. Better to go in the morning if you want to walk. My only complaint is that the park is not very big, I wouldn't run here because not much mileage would be covered unless you run back and forth a few times. Overall, it's a nice park in the middle of the city.

My daughters tried many different camps this year (a total of 8 camps) and they told me this was the best of all of them. When I asked my older daughter which camp did you think she learned the most, she said Ice Skating. They both loved their councilors and we will definitely go back. Thanks, Laureen for managing the program so nicely.

Big rink for indoor ice skating -- came here a couple times with a friend for regular skating. When…read morethe ice is smooth, it is so fun to go around, and you are never in any danger of bumping into anyone, because it doesn't get packed like the outdoor rink at Roosevelt Park or any touristy rink in NY. However, sometimes you get those hockey kids, and they purposely skate fast and weave in and out of wobbly people, so that can get a little nerve wracking. It's also rude and inconsiderate but considering those guys are teens, it's kind of forgivable, I suppose. Have a decent seating area upstairs that always looks clean, well maintained, with plenty of tables and chairs where they sell food. You can also look out and watch people skating. I've watched some figure skaters practicing and it's a lot of fun! Nice people at the front desk, very helpful with questions. Big lot, plenty of parking.

Was empty when I got there but then tons of kids showed up, seemed chill. Good is huge houses on one side, big houses on the other smaller more beat up houses on the other and the back of a police station on the closest side, if you want to build the skate park behind a hospital or a fire station that's a great place to do it but behind a police station you are just calling skateboarders criminals that need to be watched over by big brother and it's super offensive. Get it together people!!! skateboarding is not a crime, there was a big ad campaign about it in the 80s. there is parking 2hr limit until 7pm closes at dusk.

The playground is always a hit with the kids, and there are plenty of open grassy areas for frisbee, kicking a soccer ball, or just spreading out for a picnic. There's also a lot to do here: a splash park (in season), a golf course, bike paths, fishing, tennis, pickleball, and bocce. There are pavilions available for parties, along with grills and picnic tables for a BBQ. One of my favorite spots is the Rose Garden. It wasn't open on this visit (the sign noted an April 15 opening), but peak bloom is in June, and it's worth coming back for. Bottom line: A well-maintained park with something for everyone.
