Very odd small park. Came here during quarantine because it was listed as one of the closest parks…read more There's absolutely no signs anywhere so it's kind of a guessing game as to where to actual trail begins. The address is correct it's just completely in the back behind the actual park in front, just keep walking and I promise you'll find it. There's two trails, the easy was literally about 30 feet long then we hit a fence. The other was so muddy we couldn't even walk it, I wouldn't even try. Maybe I'll try coming back on a super dry day. The day before I came, it had rained for an hour. I can only imagine what a really rain storm can do to this trail. It may be worth the treck but I may also never find out. My suggestions are to wait for a very dry day to come here and walk all the way to the back of the area when you arrive. Or just maybe go to a different trail altogether!

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.

Located in Palisades Interstate Park just north of the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee, Ross…read moreDock Picnic Area is a beautiful waterfront park that juts into the Hudson River. It's a popular spot for both locals and visitors who want to enjoy a day outdoors with a stunning view of the Manhattan skyline. On nice weekends during the warm weather months, it is by far the busiest area in the park. This pristine, sprawling 1000s of acres has boat launching spots with well-maintained restrooms. River breezes are spiced by dozens of barbecues and the happy uproar of families at play; it often fills to capacity by noon. A paved path along the river makes it easy to wander, jog, or push a stroller. More ambitious visitors can link up with longer trails toward the Palisades or up toward the bridge itself. It feels like one's far away from everything even though the city is right there where my partner, his family, and I stopped by, hoping to see the GWB fully lit, two towers with 600-watt LED bulbs, on the eve of America's 250th birthday. We were anticipating to stay a bit longer, but an impending thunderstorm was approaching.

I've lived in this area all of my life and I never get tired of it. Plenty of photo opportunities here. There's grassy areas to host picnics in or play sports. If you want to walk, there's a walkway right along the Hudson River and there's a hiking trail adjacent to it. The trails are all connected to the Palisades Interstate Park. Parking isn't difficult to find here, but it is metered ($1.50 per hour). They also have public restrooms and a seasonal concession stand. There are a lot of geese though so.... watch where you're walking because their droppings are everywhere. Whether you want to hike, relax, take photos, or just enjoy the beautiful scenery, you can't go wrong with coming here. ... and yes, it's doggo friendly! :)

For me, the best part about being at The Promenade is simply being near the water. The stunning…read moreview across the Hudson River is like a chef's kiss cherry on top. I am both amazed and soothed by the faint sounds of the water splashing and minimal chatters as people are walking by or staring at the views themselves. Any time of day is great, but especially at night. And yes, it's well-lit. There are also options to dine at a restaurant or grab a quick treat like ice cream. I prefer to go whenever it is warm outside - so spring or summer is perfect. The only drawback is the inconvenience of parking spaces! Tough to find, all of the time. Keep that in mind. That's why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5.

People might get confused by the two names--Palisades Interstate Park and Fort Lee Historic Park--but it's the same location. Parking is metered, and the rates vary by day. On weekends, it's around $2.50/hour. We spent almost 2 hours here, and it was totally worth it. The park is very clean and well maintained. There are several viewpoints where you can enjoy beautiful views of the George Washington Bridge and the Hudson River. There are also a few historical displays that tell the story of the area, which makes the visit even more interesting. There are plenty of benches to sit, relax, and enjoy the scenery. It was peaceful and not too crowded when we visited. On the other side of the park, you'll find old cannons, restored military buildings, and other historic structures from the Revolutionary War period. The views from that side are just as amazing. Overall, it's a great place to spend a couple of hours if you're visiting the Palisades.
