  • To echo many of the other positive reviews, I’ve been frequenting this park regularly over the last year and a half and I’m glad I found out about it! It’s easily the most beautiful urban park of NJ, if not the planet! I’m a little biased because I fell in love here, but it’s truly a gem, particularly in the spring and fall, and a relaxing place where you can walk for at least a couple hours admiring the native plants and the abundant squirrels. I love the extensive soft “track” path. Many sports fields, trees for hammocks, benches, clean bathroom facilities (open from spring to fall) and port-o-potties make this an all around 5-star park that offers something for everyone. Many thanks to the volunteers and caretakers for keeping it beautiful!
  • Absolutely stunning when in bloom. Even though it was busy, parking was easy (so long as you can parallel park). There were so many scenic spots for pictures. There are food trucks available nearby as well as restrooms. Overall, this was a very nice park to visit.
