    Huge local park in the neighborhood. It has a playground, water pad, carousel, pony rides and train…read moreand the zoo. It has multiple parking lots BUT it gets filled up quickly. Great place for kids to run around and release their energy. Ice cream truck and shaved ice truck on site. Good for the summer. The park playground is well maintained. It's spread out to different sections. It has for bigger kids and smaller toddlers. Many staff at the Carousel and train. Well organized. Tix required. It could be a long wait during weekends. Overall a great place for kids. Easily spend a day here.

    One of the very, very BEST parks in NJ - if not the best…read more Bordering Paramus and River Edge, Van Saun County Park is definitely one of the most popular parks I've ever been to ... and there's very good reason for it. First, the park probably has the LARGEST playground I've everrrrrr seen at a public park with multiple playgrounds WITHIN the playground itself. As you can imagine, it gets quite busy on nice weekend days. Surrounding the playground are many pavilions and picnic tables for those that want to have BBQs or large gatherings, which can be had with a permit. In addition to one of the best park playgrounds, the Bergen County Zoo resides inside of the park, which is free to EVERYONE during the colder months of the year. During the warmer months, there's a small fee for Bergen County residents and non-residents. If that's not enough, there is a miniature train ride that takes people around the entire park for a small fee. And, let me tell you first hand that the train ride is actually quite long at 5-7 minutes. Nearby, there is also a carousel that you can ride on for a fee. And, guess what?? There's even more! There is a barn with ponies that let's people ride the ponies for a fee as well. There are also jogging, walking and biking paths too along with a few tennis courts. Besides all of the permanent amenities, there are also events during different times of the year including the Winter Wonderland, which ... surprise, surprise ... takes place during the winter months. If you're worried about parking, no sweat, there are multiple large lots inside of the park, so once you arrive you can start your day asap. Like I said, DEFINITELY one of the best public parks in all of NJ.

    The Rochelle Park area of Saddle Brook County Park is the southern most part of the park. SBCP…read moresprawls 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!

    The 10 mile trail is beautiful, flat, well marked, and easy to navigate. Except for the goose…read moredroppings which are unavoidable anywhere the park is well maintained and clean. There are several different entrances and available parking. Great for a brisk or leisurely walk, or bike ride. Walkers stay to the right to give cyclists passage. Plenty of shade, open areas and benches for resting. Walk as much or as little as you like.
