I remember coming during the day when it was really quiet and almost empty. My daughter was able to play on the playground all by herself, which was kind of nice because she had the whole place to enjoy! Now, years later, I still find myself coming back to Brookdale Park. I walk and run here, and it's become one of my go-to spots for an outdoor workout. I especially enjoy walking in the evening. Funny enough, after all these years, this was actually my first time officially walking the entire park! There's so much space here. They have a running track, tennis courts, and pickleball courts. There's plenty of room for kids to ride their bikes, and there are open areas where people can play soccer, football, and other sports. I also love that there's plenty of grass and open space if you want to bring a blanket, have a picnic, or just sit and relax. There are also different events held throughout the year, which gives the park an even better community feel. Overall, Brookdale Park is just a really nice place to spend time. Whether I'm coming here to walk, run, exercise, relax, or spend time with family, I always enjoy being here. It's definitely a park I've appreciated over the years, and I'm happy to have made so many memories here.

Thanks to Essex County Executive Joseph N.DiVincenzo and his staff for continuing to maintain this wonderful Rose garden for the public to enjoy.

James J. Braddock North Hudson County Park 9003 Bergenline…read moreAve. North Bergen, NJ 07047 This 167-acre honors James J. Braddock, a heavyweight boxing champion of the world who was raised in North Bergen. The trail surrounding Woodcliff Lake may not be the largest, but it is thriving with life. Several turtles and freshwater fish swim there. Feel free to walk, jog, or bring your domestic pet on the pathway. Bicycles, roller skating, and e-bikes are not allowed on the paths. If you prefer an alternative route, there is a nature trail that parallels with the lake. It will definitely give you the feel of being in a wilderness. Fishing is permitted in the lake, but a valid NJ freshwater fishing license is required. Visitors may rent a paddle boat or kayak if they wish to sail the lake. Multiple benches are stationed throughout the park. Feel free to grab any available seat. Everyone is also welcome to bring their own lounge chair or blanket if they prefer to have a seat on the grass. If you get hungry, Playa Bowls and Rumba's Cafe are conveniently located near the lake. They are open all year round and have both indoor and outdoor seating. A fairly large playground is on site for younger children. They may play on the jungle gym, swing set, or dual zip line. There is also a water park next to the playground. It is not an actual pool, but a highly advanced splash pad with water arches and animated sprayers. This will come in handy during the warmer seasons. There are a couple parking lots in the park, but a majority of the visitors park on the street. As parking space seems limited, I would highly recommend using public transportation to commute to the park. Overall, this park is pretty decent and it's great to spend a couple of hours on a spring or summer afternoon. #jamesjbraddockpark #northbergennj #hudsoncountypark #jamesjbraddocknorthhudsoncountypark

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ HUGGGGGE, well-maintained park with lots of space. Probably one of the biggest local, neighborhood county parks in NJ. + Multiple sections to the park include large kids' playground, tennis courts, basketball courts, volleyball courts, handball courts, baseball fields, a soccer field, track and field athletic field, dog park and a BIGGGG lake in the middle. + The kids' playground is one of the biggest I've seen in Northern N.J. rivaling that of Van Saun's playground in Paramus. There are lots of activities for kids in there. + There's a road that goes through the heart of the park, so, YES you can drive through the park. THE NOT SO GOOD ---------------------------- - Parking inside of the park can be a challenge on really nice days, but there are also spaces outside of the park by the surrounding houses too.

Morningside Park is a narrow strip NYC Park that stretches 13 blocks through neighborhoods of…read moreHarlem and Morningside Heights in Manhattan, NYC. It is a large public park, but of course, no Central Park for size comparison and neither the landscape of Conservatory Gardens which are my ultimate favorite. Nevertheless, it does contains beautiful full bloom lush green scenic landscaping with cohesive impact of a community park. It was built on a steep incline, which I surely felt as I was walking uphill on Cathedral Parkway and it was surely strenuous physical activity. There are outlook posts via stairs that fends a cliff-like towering view where visitors pause to intake a scenic views from above street level. These stairs are not ADA accessible. There are benches. The grounds are clean and peaceful. My visit was a fleeting moment in passage of my travels. It awoken my spirit to be grateful to be alive to see nature's beauty. My favorite are weeping willow trees which are beautiful and ultimate picturesque scenic for landscaping beauty, but to no avail. There are giant rock boulders that serve as fence or border. On Saturdays there is a outdoor farmers market. There is a bronze sculpture "Alfred Lincoln Seligman Fountain," by Edgar Walter dedicated 1914 depicting a bear leaning on rock hunting its prey with faun sheltering below and a adjacent plaque located north 114th Street and Morningside Avenue, at the foot of the stairway. This park is accessible via MTA NYC Transit B, C trains at Cathedral Parkway-110th Street station and local 1 train at Cathedral Parkway-110th Street station in Upper West Side, Manhattan, NYC.

Lovely park indeed. Walked extensively through this park. Grounds are kept up very well.read more
