Warm and sunny, but not ungodly muggy. Despite residing in Bordentown for over a year, we'd never taken the ride over to historic Allentown. After driving through this historic and bucolic town, trust me when I say we kicked ourselves for waiting so long!!!! Heritage park is large. A nicely level, paved trail encircles a wide open and verdant space for folks to picnic, dogs to play, and I guess children too. Benches are fairly abundant to have a respite from any physical exertion or to simply slow down and enjoy some nature. Parking lot was tight, so we parked in the dead end street that leads you to the park entrance and had no trouble. Beautiful weather, beautiful park in a great town. Combine that with some wonderful company and you've got what makes for a perfect day! We shall return.

Along with our paddleboards, you will find kayakers, canoers, and fisherman in the lake. There is plenty of room for everyone! There are two differnet sides of the lake you can park on. There is the main paved parking lot area, where all the fisherman usually can be found. I prefer the lesser used dirt road side, which is almost like a private beach. To get there you need to make a left turn off Eldridge (check out a map). There are also unmarked trails for those interested in hiking or mountain biking.

The garden was created in 1912 when Sayen purchased the land with his wife Anne Mellon (of the Mellon family) and built a home in the Arts and Crafts style. The azaleas and rhododendrons are especially magnificent. We visited during the Azalea Festival over Mother's Day weekend, and the flowers were in full colorful splendor. There are ponds, gazebos, and walking trails around the property. My favorite are the wooded trails at one end of the park, but they aren't marked so you could end up wandering around trying to find the exit. Tip: you can find GPS map tracks in AllTrails and Gaia to stay oriented.

Verterans Park is a nice sized park that's easily accessible from multiple points. The park is…read morewell equipped with various sporting facilities, including tennis courts, volleyball nets and even a small, ver basic, skate park. There's even a location for roller hockey. There are play areas for kids, and picnic tables (including covered picnic locations) for families looking to spend some time out of doors. It can be very crowded on a nice weekend, which is both good and bad, as I'm glad that they park is being used by the Township's citizens, but at the same time, you always want the nice places all for yourself. There are parking areas on different sides of the park, and I prefer to park on the Hamilton/Whitehorse Road side, but that spot is pretty small, is popular with runners, and fills up especially fast on weekends. To make matters worse, for some reason the City recently installed E-Car charging stations there (sure, pick the smallest lot--nice work, Hamilton), so parking in those four spaces is no longer available for anyone, as the even the e-cars must leave after charging. There are well paved paths that lead through the park, and there are park maps located in a few places along the main paved paths. There are also dirt trails that lead through the more wooded areas in the park, but sadly, they are very poorly marked--meaning almost not at all, and it's up to you to figure them out. However, the park isn't so big that you can really get lost, so...go out and try to get lost, and you'll figure out the dirt trails soon enough. They aren't nearly as popular as the paved trails, so they should be your destination if the sensation of having the park to yourself is a goal. There's a dog park located by the Kuser Road entrance. There's a fenced in area for large and smaller dogs, but to be brutally honest, both areas are tiny compared to the expansive dog park located at Rosedale Park in nearby Pennington. That said, if you just want to bring your dog to a place where they can socialize and you're not worried about them having a place to run, it's fine. Just make sure you walk them through the main park itself before or after so that they can get some exercise. On the negative side, other than the poorly marked dirt trails and the underwhelming size of the dog park, the main problem in Veterans Park, which is pretty much the main problem in every park in the county. The city recently put up signs saying there will be improvements made to the paths that include separate bike lanes. It's a good idea, and a necessary one , but I'll be surprised if the people on feet respect the bike lines. Prove me wrong, Hamilton!

There is a playground for smaller/older kids, swing set for smaller and older kids. There is a huge parking lot with lots of spaces it is secluded away from a busy street. An absolute gem! Happy that I came across it. We will for sure be coming here more often. I really don't like that I found cigarette buds around the lake but then again, some people are care-less and some care more. Regardless, it's a beautiful and peaceful park. Wether you are coming to have a nice evening stroll, a stroller walk, a dog walk, or go for a run/exercise or take your kids to a shaded playground, this is a great park for it. There is also a tennis court! Negatives: no bathrooms, geese poops Closest bathroom I think would be a Dunkin' Donuts around the corner, 2 minutes of a drive away

A friend & I went there for the wine fest which had been moved from previous years at Allaire State Park. Despite the threatening weather, we had a fabulous time. There were perhaps 20 wineries, each with several types of wine to try. The area is large enough that you are not 6 deep waiting to taste wines. It seemed even our favorite wineries had a nice turnover going with patrons & we had very short waits. Some of my favorite NJ wineries were on hand including Plagido, Cava, DiMatteo, & Wagonhouse, just to name a few. They had plenty of food trucks to choose from with a great variety of food. I chose one I had never seen, Mexiflip. I ordered mango tacos that were delicious! 2 tacos for $6, very reasonable for this type of venue. Admission price was the same as Allaire had been, a very reasonable $25-$30 depending when you bought your ticket. There were also plenty of port-a-johns on site. Parking is extensive & with being a spread out as the park is, there was room for an additional 2 bands to play, alternatively, on opposite sides of the area. I wish had had gotten the names of some of the entertainers as all was very good. If was a fabulous day & I will definitely be returning for the next one. Next time however, I will bring lawn chairs, as seating is not provided.

Given that there is no admission fee and no parking fee, was shocked to see how well maintained and beautiful the overall park was. Huge ground with several arenas for various events. The day that we went they had a horse shoe going on - saw equestrian event that one would normally see on TV live. It was really breathtaking to see the animals in action. Was amazed and in awe of how disciplined the horses were and the riders were. They have a really wonderful and huge outdoor canopy where you sit under the shade and can watch events occur. They have stables, refreshments and various Everyone was really friendly as well. Would HIGHLY recommend to take kids and families here - great way to spend a portion of the afternoon. Great experience and something totally different. PROS - Free admission, free parking ( huge parking lot ), nice outdoor seating under canopy, indoor warehouse like stadium, horse rinks are adjacent wide range of horses, events every other weekend, beautiful landscape & well kept field given it is free, food vendors during events, very nice & welcoming staff CONS - Walking areas along the rinks are not clearly marked ( need to be very careful, especially with kids, when walking alongside horses ), shabby stalls, watch out for horse manure TIPS - Visit their website and see calendar of events (i.e. barrel racing, horse shows) so that you can see full range of activities - park towards the canopy - Can visit here before heading towards great adventure or Assunpink Wildlife area ( located very close to to both )

This "park" is comprised of 22 acres of land that the township bought from the owners of Kuser…read moremansion. The mansion was built in 1882 and is architecturally interesting, as are a few of the buildings. There is a tennis house that I would love to call my own( I have a thing for tiny houses) But as a township taxpayer I can't help feeling that this property is underutilized. There is a tiny playground that seems to be forgotten. An antique tennis court that appears not to have been played on for decades. A lawn bowling court that is meticulously groomed, but does anyone even know what lawn bowling is? And grape vines that are reverting back to their wild form. A few times a year there are tours of the mansion, and in the summer months there are some concerts near the very large gazebo. But this is not a park with much recreation going on. Not really advisable for walking or jogging unless you are within walking distance. Maybe a picnic spot if you live or work nearby. With all this land it would be nice to see some biking or walking trails, or an upgraded playground at least. Still, in a township where open spaces are evaporating, I guess it is good that this land was not sold to a developer. But for the amount of taxes that residents pay, it would be better to see this park become more utilitarian. It just squeaked in at 3 Yelps.

Joan was a first class tour guide - as was Stephanie who gave the upstairs tour.
