The park has tennis courts, baseball stadium, basketball court, soccer field, runners track and a little kids playground as well. The park is fairly clean and you can even watch the teachers take the pre-schoolers on a little walk as well weekly. In my opinion this is a great example that with little changes and everyone taking pride in their community the city of Newark can be restored to the great city it was back in the time of the great Industrial Boom.

Riverbank Park in the Ironbound has a number of sports-designated areas. There are a basketball…read morecourt, a soccer field with AstroTurf, a baseball field, lighted tennis courts, and a small track. A playground and fieldhouse are also in this park by the Passaic River. If you are not into sports, it's worth visiting at least once if you are into history. It's on the National Register of Historic Places because Riverbank Park was designed by the Olmsted brothers. It's a nice park for sports-aficionados and history buffs.

Oh, boy. I can't tell you how many times I'd been to 'the Oval' having grown up in Kearny (and if…read moreyou were a fellow delinquent - you know all about "Fudd" not too far away, either). Mostly playing (and watching) soccer. Sometimes trying to fall into a routine of jogging the perimeter of the place to get in shape (but immediately hitting the Arlington Diner after our workout which negated all that hard work). The town put all sorts of money to rebuild, revamp, revitalize Gunnel Oval and it's amazing the transformation that's taken place. (To say it's night and day wouldn't really convey how different today's Oval is from what I remember.) Maybe six baseball fields. Three soccer fields (and it looks like some of the baseball fields can be 'retrofitted' to a soccer match). An impressive skate-park (skateboarding used to be illegal and the police were not cool when they caught you on the street with your board, let me tell ya). Two "American Ninja" kinda-sorta gym/workout parts. Basketball courts. A few tennis courts. Seriously cool jungle gym playground for the tots. A quality interconnected sidewalk/walkway (for getting to/from the various spots inside of the complex). The fields are pristine (growing up you just had to deal with patches of grass and a lot of dirt/mud and all sorts of loose rocks and uneven terrain that would totally mess with your game). There isn't enough parking when all the fields are being used and of course the entitled parents do not care to park illegally and mess with the cars that are in actual/legit spots. (Not sure if the bathrooms were still open/available - they seemed fenced off on my most recent visit.)
