I really liked the Glen Rock area of Saddle River County Park. On the day we went, we encountered a giant turtle, a family of deer, and various water fowl. This was the most luck we've had seeing animals up close at SRCP. Plus, I enjoyed walking the paths there and walking around the pond at this part of the park. read more

There's plenty of free parking, benches and picnic tables. There's "duck pond", public bathrooms, a playground and a dog park. I came to the park for the trail and got a great workout! 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. read more

The Saddle River County Park system stretches throughout several towns in Bergen County, with each section offering up something unique. This is an excellent park with a nice pond, great playground, and ample parking. At first, the walking path around the pond seems quite short, but thanks to some elevation changes, it's still a great workout. It's a bit narrow in parts, so you'll need to watch out for Lance Armstrong wannabes occasionally. There are some restrooms next to one of the parking lots, which is very conveniently located. Not something you can always say at many parks. Lastly, the playground here is great. It's not very big, but it's got enough variety to keep most kids entertained. The kids who play here are also generally well behaved and friendly, which is definitely not something you can say about most playgrounds. read more

Love this place and visit often. Want to feel the breeze through your hair? Want to see the baby bunnies running around under the trees? This is your place. Just be sure to keep your mouth shut while riding through the clusters of gnats this time of year into summer. You may wind up with dessert :) Not something I would want to yelp about! The only bad thing about any park like this is the different type of enthusiasts that show up. You have bikers going 20 MPH and parents strolling along with their children on scooters, so all I have to say is "slow down" and give the little ones and their parents a break! read more

Very nice looking park with plenty of paths good for strolling and biking. Restrooms are available and parking wasn't difficult. There are also a lot of benches throughout to sit and look at the duck pond, also a dog park. read more

I love this park. It has a pond area, picnic area, playground and the continuation of the saddle River park trail. I come here to walk the trail to Paramus which is around 3 miles round trip. During my walk I am often greeted by animals of sorts- recently it's been deers and baby fawns! read more

This park is one of my favorite local parks for biking. It has a long and scenic trail spanning several towns including Glen Rock, Ridgewood, Paramus, Fair Lawn, Rochelle Park, and Saddle Brook. The paved trail is about 6 miles long and fairly flat so it's good for running, walking, and biking. The path follows the Saddle River and along the way you'll see ponds, tiny waterfalls, shaded picnic areas, and a couple playgrounds. read more

This beautiful park is located just off of Prospect Street in Glen Rock NJ. When entering the park, the large "one acre" pond is directly infront of you and is surrounded by copious amounts of fun activities. One may park and throw a worm into the pond and catch some tiny sun fish or bass, or play tennis at one of the three courts. Bring yoru kids to a spacious playground or have a picnic on one of the many large lawns. There are two large "tents" or covered buildings to plop down and enjoy, and simply enjoy the scenery. The park is also linked with the other via the "bike path" and a great little water fall is just a short walk away. I bring my children here all the time, enjoy it! read more

A total gem. The Glen Rock part of the park seems a bit less known than the others. The park and spoke set up is great for runners, walkers, bikers, dogs, etc. to have a path to follow to somewhere. That somewhere is typically another town's park. For a while, I was amazed when I'd be driving on a main road and get a glimpse of the path. Sometimes you are steps away from traffic, but feel like you're in the middle a big park. read more

Was in the area for a few weeks and found this park perfect to be able to get outside by myself or with the grandkids. The children love to play, run and see the ducks and turtles in the pond. When I want a long leisurely walk, the relatively flat 6 mile trail is perfect. read more
