    Whenever I go to Meadowlands Park, I walk a few laps around Duck Pond. There's something nice about this mini-lake in South Orange. There are two paths around the pond - one closer to the perimeter of the pond, and one on the outer edges. In between the paths, closer to the river, there are the bocce courts. Though, I have to admit that I've never seen anyone PLAY bocce, but then again, maybe I'm going there on the wrong days. True to the name, there are ducks in the pond, as well as other water fowl (like mad aggressive geese - so watch out!). On a serious note, though, please don't feed the ducks and geese. I used to as a kid, but I didn't realize that it's A) not good for the animals and B) not good for the ecosystem. I won't go into details as to why here (it's Yelp), but look it up if you are interested (there's information about it online). Anyway, enjoy the Duck Pond and nature around you here.

    Great relaxing Pond right next to my dad's place. Excellent spot to run around the lake or just take a walk lots of open space. Beautiful scenery and very relaxing just to chill

    Quiet, alcohol and pet free bay beach and park. Lots of parking, clean and close beach from parking…read morelot. No boardwalk nor eateries but they do have restrooms. Rocky beach and no waves because it's on the bay. Parking is $22 for non residents. Wish the water was clearer but it's natural. Brought water shoes but didn't really need them if you're careful. They have an East beach and West beach within park. West allows bbqs, larger fields and nice views. East beach is more like a beach due to lifeguard staff. Nature center located on east beach as well. My photos are from west beach only.

    I've come here a handful of times and it's always great. This time around, I came to the beach with…read moremy family for the 4th of July. I arrived at 11ish, paid $22 (non-Connecticut residents have to pay) and found parking immediately. Around 12:30 the parking lots were at capacity and closed. I love how there's so much to do at the park. You can grill, go to the beach, go for a walk and even ride your bike. It's a great time. The beach is small and full of rocks and pebbles. The water was freezing even in the hot weather. The walk towards the water is even worse. There's rocks everywhere you step and can be extremely painful. My sister and I both cut our feet trying to get in and out of the water so I HIGHLY recommend getting some water shoes! My favorite parking lot is the west side only because there's a bathhouse where you can change, use the bathroom and take a shower. Highly recommend to come here for a fun beach day or picnic or grilling. Love love this place!
