The Rochelle Park area of Saddle Brook County Park is the southern most part of the park. SBCP sprawls over a number of Bergen County townships - Rochelle Park, Saddle Brook, Fairlawn, Paramus, Glen Rock, and Ridgewood. My coworker told me that it's possible to walk the entire expanse of the park by connected paths.
There is a path that begins at Railroad Avenue, winds along the river for about a mile, and then links to a footbridge that will take you towards the Otto Pehle Area (Fairlawn). Before the footbridge, you'll see a baseball field, tennis courts, areas with picnic tables, and a gazebo. You walk under the Garden State Parkway (you can see the GSP signs for exits 157 and 159 from the path) if you keep heading north.
The paths here are pretty wide, so there is ample room for walkers, joggers/runners, dog walkers, skaters, bicyclists, etc - all of whom i saw this weekend despite it still being February with brisk, chilly winter weather. It's still an active park. Nice vibes! read more
