I love this park! Great for walking my dog Cooper, he loves the streams, the bridges, ponds, miles of paths, lush green fields, trees. So much to do here I'll just ramble off a list of what you can find here: walking and biking the miles of paths, tennis courts, grassy areas for solitude, a reflection park with landscaping and stone benches arranged in an oval, barbecue and picnic areas with built in stand up grills, picnic benches and a few covered large areas for entertaining large groups with nearby running water from a hand pump (check park website for availability but I believe it's first come first served for the covered picnic areas), TONS of parking all around the park for easy access, babbling brooks, cute bridges, a really nice man made pond with an island and best yet, BATHROOMS all over! read more

Beautiful county park. Handicap accessible, has ice rink, trails, and natural water spring definitely worth checking out.

Beautiful park in Edison . If you love the changing of the seasons and seeing Beautiful colors of reds, greens and orange in the leaves then you would appreciate this lovely park.We went twice since it was a short walk from my extended families home in Edison. They even have an adaptive field to play soccer for people with disabilities. I thought that was interesting and unique. We missed out on the ice skating since it was raining the day we walked there .I would absolutely go back for that. The veterans memorial was what really got me since grandfather was a World War ll photographer and dad and brother also have served. Freedom isn't Free they always have said .Being out in the cool 40 to 50's temperature with rolling hills and trails is what gets me up in the morning. Check this park out if in the area. A little fresh air and exercise is good for the soul. read more

Cool weather is made for running . Couldn't resist visiting this park close to some family to get a quick run in. With nicely paved running trails, ice skating rink and places to walk your dogs , it is a great place to enjoy some nature. I also saw an adaptive soccer field that was cool for people with special needs . It was padded and a large area to help if athletes fell from their wheelchairs or assistive device. Thought that was pretty cool. Went for several walks over the Thanksgiving break and would go back on next return to Jersey. read more

This is a pretty big park. There were some people around the lake area with people walking around without masks but it's easy enough to walk around them since it's spacious. They have two tennis court areas at this park. One has 4 courts and the other has 3. It's very clean and maintained very well. read more

So I have to say I was pretty surprised at how beautiful this park is! I first seen this park when I would travel down 1&9 (pass Menlo Park mall) and then I seen the back of this park off parsonage road (I believe that is the road) also pass Menlo Park mall. Needless to say I was intrigued since I am always looking for new places to take my workout buddy (the furry one in the pics). So I finally decided to come here today after looking for parks to come to in this area and then came across this park on the "AllTrails" app. So I parked and then walked a straight path that leads down a hill. Once down the hill, there is a big beautiful pond in which there is a paved walking path going around in a circle (my total walk was about 2.4 miles). One of the main things that i noticed that I really liked is that people was sitting out on the grass on a blanket almost like a picnic just enjoying the weather (think Central Park vibes). There was also people running, walking their dogs. Funny thing is, even though the park was pretty crowded around the pond, it didn't feel crowded because it was so big. Overall, I really like this park (I'm sure you will too). I highly recommend coming here. FYI: there are several parking lots around this park. read more

This is a great park. I frequent this park in the spring and summer to jog and workout. Today I was taking the family ice skating. Unfortunately, didn't get the chance to due to the capacity and the amount of people waiting to skate. Nonetheless, a lot of cool things at this park if you follow what's happening in Edison. Great for family outing. read more

Always a beautiful, well-maintained park. Thank you. kid friendly enough for the adults to do beautiful lake to walk around or pond.

I love this park and it's so easily accessible and off route one. There two basketball courts, several playgrounds, restrooms, picnic area (make sure you reserve tables) or bring your own, pond, fishing area and more. The park is large enough that everyone can social distance. The restrooms are clean which is a huge plus. Parking is plentiful but of course first come, first serve basis. My extended family and I had enjoyed a beautiful picnic gathering here. We found a really nice shaded area and set up our table and chairs. Kids so played at the basketball court, while adults just catch up like any other gathering. No one was near each other. We all parties spaced out which is great. read more

Great park - not sure about the walking trails except for the one around the lake. They have many b-ball courts in a couple areas of the park (by the lake and the entrance off of West Grandview). They have bbq grills set up for your use (not sure what the rules are), playgrounds for the kids, ice skating in the winter, and level playing fields for the disabled. I've also noticed a lot of people fishing so bring your rods if that's your thing. One thing to note during the 2020 pandemic - if you want to go to a park that's off the beaten path this isn't the place. A lot of people congregate to this park so if you're not here early in the morning be ready for a swarm. Mind you a lot of people aren't practicing social distancing and not wearing masks. Good luck, be safe, and enjoy! #wearamask read more

Edison's largest park is within walking distance to/from Metropark, Menlo Park Mall, and what used to be Roosevelt Hospital. The most prominent feature is the Lake, which is surrounded by a walkway that is shared by joggers, runners, and bicyclists. The tennis and basketball courts are usually occupied, and the picnic grove requires advance reservation on weekends. Feeding the duck population is expressly prohibited, but many visitors continue to do so anyway. If you're a runner, you'd be better off running the larger perimeter of the park instead, into the woods (no pun intended) towards the direction of Plays in the Park, where there are fewer children, strollers, tricycles, etc. If you entered via Parsonage Road, getting out the way you came in is sometimes a pain because of the one-way, single lane road that circles the lake, passes through the parking lot of the Lakeview School, and finally exits onto Parsonage right after the underpass, which creates a slight blindspot. The only other ways to drive out of Roosevelt Park involve driving towards Rt. 1. read more

Every day out there in nature is a blessed day. And if it closer to a water source, what can be better? When you live in the east coast you learn that nature has a lot to offer other than crystal clear water and sunny blue skies. So for me snowy days can also be amazing days. And looking at some of the beautiful photos here you can see what I am talking about. For me it is a long walk with my headphones on. Just me and the beautiful trees. Any time, any season, this park has been a refuge from running and the never ending chase. It is not perfect, but it is perfect for me. read more

Really nice park to go to if you live near New Brunswick. Would occasionally go here with my friend during my time at Rutgers. The best part is that the ducks and birds would pass by if you were sitting near the water to see if you had food , haha. read more

We were in the area to go to the Cheesecake Factory but wanted to stop at a playground first. This park was a GEM! The playground was perfect! The ground is covered in this awesome squishy turf, it's very clean and the play apparatus is very unique and full of variety for all skill levels. The community of families was also so playful and sweet. The park is gorgeous...brimming with so much natural beauty. Right near the playground is a pond & fountain, a cute gazebo, very large shady picnic area, basketball & tennis courts, bridges over water with fish & birds! Awesome!! read more

In the 1930's, President Franklin D. Roosevelt stimulated the economy by putting people to work to build this beautiful park. Apparently, no money was allocated to renovate the restrooms in the recent stimulus plan by President Obama. Nonetheless, this is a great park for relaxing walks! Cherry blossoms are blooming! They allow you to fish from the lake (signs up state they put fish in the lake for fishing). One star off for the not so nice ladies room, but if you must go, there is a Nordstrom nearby (2nd floor ladies room has been newly renovated!) where you can also admire the latest designs by Diane Von Furstenburg and Marc by Marc Jacobs, as well as refresh with an iced coffee or tea. read more

Found the park as part of MeetHalfway.com. Obviously, meeting a friend halfway since we haven't seen each other since the COVID lockdown. The park was beautiful. There were so many place to be....we chose one that was an empty field. We were able to "physically distance" without really feeling distant! The bathroom facilities were immaculate. All in all it was a lovely afternoon. Thanks to the staff at Roosevelt Park for the care and upkeep of their facility! read more

One of the biggest! And when you come to a park and do not look to socialize, this is your park. For me parks are either to come as a group or to come by yourself. Jogging/Walking for me is an option (Beside healthy) is time to clear my thoughts and process. Enjoy this park and planning to do that for many more times. read more

I've been going to this park all my life. Don't forget to visit the veteran's memorial and read motivational quotes along with the interesting globe fountain (unfortunately not working one but still beautiful) read more

Beautifully landscaped and lots to offer. From playgrounds and barbecue areas to tennis and basketball courts. It is a one stop type of park that has everything you need. I have been coming here for years for Plays in the Park but never fully explored the rest until recently. There is a lake and paved paths for joggers. If this park were closer, I think I would be there every weekend! read more

Roosevelt County Park - Chillaxin! - Parks Near Me - Edison, New Jersey

Roosevelt Park is one of the many expansive parks in the New Jersey suburbs. No matter the weather there is always something to do at the park, from walking around the lake to sitting under the gazebo, you will always have a good time. As with most parks, the best time to experience them is when the weather is nice. My favorite time to go to Roosevelt Park is in the summer because they have Italian ice. If exercise is your thing, there is a lot of area to walk around and a large lake if you want to walk laps. Perhaps one of the best things at Roosevelt Park is the theater, Plays in the Park, that puts on plays from June to August. They do very good work and they put on popular plays every year. I have been going to the plays since I was a kid and I have never been disappointed. In all, Roosevelt Park is a gem in the Edison area and many people take full advantage of it. The best time to come is in the summer when there are plenty of places to walk and plenty of things to do. read more

I'm revising this review because there is no better place to run in the area! It has a great path around the lake, ice skating in the winter, basketball courts and picnic areas. For runners, you can loop around the park and hit the trail all the way around I think it's around 2-2.5 miles if you take the long way. read more

I always enjoy taking a nice stroll around the lake. There are many people here exercising, lounging on the benches, or fishing. There are always birds and ducks at the lake making it an even more peaceful place to venture to. There is also a skating rink, theater, and play area. What's also nice is that there are picnic benches as well as BBQ areas. Definitely will have to return here when the weather improves. There are a lot of paths in the park that take you through beautiful natural scenes of a forest. read more

Very nice park! Love how the grass is green, lush, and full. I have never laid out, but I've seen many people lay down towels to read, nap, tan, or have a picnic. No patchy, dried out spots here! Also clean; I don't see garbage anywhere on the ground. Maybe some geese/duck poop. Big main parking lot from Parsonage Road entrance, but if you go further in, there is plenty of other lots nearby some popular trails and playgrounds. Also around the lake, parking wraps around until you hit the exit. I haven't had the time to explore every facet of this park, but it's spacious, and enjoyable. You feel both secluded, but close enough to other people that you don't get freaked out. They have courts to pay tennis, too. And even better, in the winter time, there is an outdoor ice skating rink (very popular recreational spot). Perfect for families during the summer time! I find it super relaxing to sit on one of those benches in the shade, under the trees, and watching people walk or jog around the water. read more

This park is huge! I have to admit.. I only come here to see Plays in the Park which I highly recommend. I have noticed that there are different sports fields that are often used. There are also tables and benches available to use for a park picnic. The grounds are kept well. read more

A beautifully well-kept govt owned park. Excellent jogging routes, 2 basketball courts, 2 playground areas, giant pond/lake, skating rink open in the summer and winter, and an outdoor amphitheater for live shows! Acres of open grass areas for picnics or tanning. Lots of space for any outdoor activity. They even offer a summer camp with cabins for the kids. Absolutely lovely for a nice stroll in the fall time! Get your cameras out the trees are a nice sight read more

It's just flat out not fair that there should be this much litter here and so few flowers + other niceties. You spend money on a ridiculous soccer complex and stretching stations but meanwhile the small island in the pond is decorated with sticker bushes and dirt. I would like better. read more

This is a fantastic park - I've always thought so. It's hard not to appreciate the fact that you can be surrounded by a little nature in between all of these malls and highways. Sure I kind of wish that road didn't cut through - but it really isn't that big a deal. The park is clean and well maintained - it's a great place! read more

Beautiful Park. They have fantastic outdoor theater productions during the summer. Several playgrounds and trails.
