I came to the playground and splash area with my two daughters this summer. The playground is…read moreamazing. It is gated and is connected to the splash area which opens at 10. The only downfall is that it is all in the open sun so the playground does get pretty hot if its a hot summer day. But then you can cool off in the water. It was right by the water so I enjoyed the scenery.

If I lived in the area I would totally become a member. Perfect for swimmers because they have a large lap pool. They also have a slide and splash pad as well as a small pool for kids. Not large by any means but intimate with Gorg views of the city skyline and river. Located near tennis courts, soccer fields, track etc.

This place is just hands down AWSOME. Why? Because it is not a place to just hit a few balls (it…read morecan be if you want it to be), it is an entire training facility! Today I made arrangements with my teammates to go to the batting cages. Only four of us were available for practice and going to a field would have been kind of useless. So I went on Yelp and began to look up nearby locations and this is the first place that popped up. Took a moment to look at their rates and was pretty impressed with what I found. Great place to keep in mind if I ever have a kid because the staff is full of professionals with prior baseball and softball experience. Early this morning i made a reservation and I took a deal today which was $50 for one hour. With the $50, you get one lane and can have up to six people with you. Once inside I went to the register in the front. Payment was easy and the man helping us was extremely nice. Everything was all set up for us when we arrived. The guy at the register was more than happy to also adjust the machine to our needs whenever we needed it. I liked this as opposed to a regular batting cage because you have the ability to adjust the pitch. In total, there are four lanes inside the facility. For an hour the four of us were able to take more than enough swings (it wound up being only $12 a person). I was kind of disappointed we didn't bring gloves because we could have even thrown around a little bit! Next time! The one thing I would like to point out is that facility is not for individual use while batting. You need someone with you to feed the pitches to you. All and all, I consider this place a homerun! I will be more than happy to return in the future!

Brand new instructional/batting cage facility. 4 lanes, flexible setup to allow for soft toss, to…read moreuse a machine, or to pitch from a mound. My buddy and I went here yesterday to get some swings in before softball season. We were able to switch between soft toss and taking swings from a machine. We liked the setup, as we were able to control the tempo and # of swings we wanted to take, vs. being at the mercy of a timed machine. $25 for a half hour, $50 for an hour. Pretty solid deal. Online reservations made it pretty easy. Not for solo users - you'll need someone there to feed the machine or soft toss pitches to you. If you're on your own, I suggest calling ahead to see if the owner is available to support you. Union City Parking can be tough, but you're allowed to park right alongside the Hudson Baseball facility on 23rd street (right before you get to Summit). I believe they own those spots, which is pretty clutch.

Nice park up in Union City/JC Heights. It's a crowded mess on the weekends, but what urban park…read moreisn't. Why I love this park? There's about 9-10 tennis courts, so you can usually find an open court without a wait compared to Hamilton Park in JC where you normally have to wait an hour regardless day/time. Along with tennis there's a decent playground for the kids, a baseball diamond (maybe 2), bball hoops and some picnic benches. Not a lot of open space to run around on grass, but nice if you're looking for recreational sports. Not too far from the elevator from the 9th St. light rail, definitely a gem!

The park is usually clean although the attendant is usually pretty nasty. The baseball field needs way more attention . Crazy since the football field across the street is always clean and things are brand new. Overall, its a great place to take the kids to play and even for a small BBQ since they have set aside picnic area.

The Forgotten Park…read more Leonard Gordon Park is the oldest & largest in Jersey City Heights.First constructed in the early 1900's and is approximately 5.7 acres in size. It was named after a NY native who served in the Union Army during the Civil War.After moving to Jersey City,Dr. Gordon is best known around here for a few things.They are the placement of the sculpture of Soldiers & Sailors Memorial outside of City Hall.Also of note, he helped the founding of the Free public library of Jersey City.His bust is in the front lobby to this very day. Enough of the history of this park/person... It needs a facelift and some looking after.The park has a gazebo that is right in the center and is falling apart.With paint chips all over the place and wood planks falling down.The walking paths are concrete and all cracked with not much lighting in the area that I noticed.Even the Bull & Bear statues which this Park known for, can use a little TLC. There is a very nice World War I memorial that was dedicated on November 9th,1930 when you first enter the park. Currently under construction is a playground for the kids on your right when first entering the park.Out front on the Kennedy Blvd entrance way are a couple of nice little gardens which are very nice to see. City administration is working on a reclamation project to spruce up this grand old park.Hopefully it works.I'd hate to see this park disappear & fall to the hands of the less than desirable folks that can hang here.

No…read morematter the season, the view is breathtaking especially at sunrise or sunset, when the city is painted in golden tones. This spot feels like a hidden gem only locals know about. It's peaceful, scenic, and perfect for a quiet walk, a photo session, or just relaxing with a coffee while enjoying the view. There's public parking, and depending on the day, you might even find an ice cream truck. A few blocks away, you'll find restaurants and cafes, making it a great stop before or after a meal. You can even walk or bike the entire stretch from Weehawken to West New York along the waterfront. Whenever I'm in the area, I make it a point to stop here even just for a few minutes. It never disappoints.

Weehawken to get to is sometimes a pain due to the congestion but the architecture surrounding this park is just a perk of the park itself. Victorian style Charmed looking houses and greenery everywhere. Highly recommend if you can come take in the view of this location. Bring a picnic blanket and your camera, well worth the drive!
