Great park located towards the center of town. This place is a pain in the butt to drive through,…read morebut man is it pretty. Lots of spots for kayaking, including a place you can rent from when the weather is nice. Path through the woods along the water is great for walkers, runners and bikers. Could also do the other path that heads closer to town/houses. Not too uncommon to see wildlife either (ie: deer, geese, turtles). They also have ice skating in winter when the lakes freeze over. Parking is pretty easy and in a few spots. As other notes, no bathroom here which is the biggest issue. Otherwise with how accessible this is, it's a gem.

As of today the bowl is still under construction. Yes, there are scooter kids and a lot of bikes at times but you have to share the space. Definitely one of the better skate parks in the city.

This is just a beautiful spot to spend a couple of hours on a mild summer day. Our grandson had…read moreheard about it last year and wanted to check it out, so we got a Zipcar and drove up. Hiked up and across, ate the lunch we'd brought at one of the umbrella'ed tables near the playground, and then the skies opened up; drove back to Manhattan on an almost flooded Bronx River Parkway. Grandson back for a visit this year, wanted to go back! Zipcar got more expensive, so I followed the directions on their website using public transportation. DON'T! The website says take Metronorth to White Plains and then a Bee-line bus, #6, to the Dam Plaza. We found the bus stop, and the schedule said 11:43. Perfect, right? Not. 12:43 came and went. Other buses came and went. The #6 never showed up, so finally we took a taxi for $20.00. Took 10 minutes to get there. Better to take a train to Valhalla and walk the less than a mile or Uber for 8.95 or something like that. Watch the schedule for going back to Grand Central, because in the afternoon it seems to run just once an hour. Plan accordingly. Otherwise we had a good time.

If you need a skateboard or you just want to skate, you need to come to 2nd Nature! The only thing that was bad about it, was that one day I was skating by myself and the guy came out and said they were closing, but when I got home I went on their website and they'll be open for another hour. Just because I was the only one there and he just wanted to go home.

Would definitely go back when we get that itch to ride.

If you're not wanting to walk and walk and walk at bigger zoos this is perfect. There's a carousel and a small train you can ride (usually have to do it 2-3 times for the kids. LOL!) Bergen county residents are discounted. Large playground. Ice cream trucks, hot dogs, etc. Kids can run around and have a great time. We've gone here for many many years and still do as adults.
