We concentrated on the wider and paved trails and eventually looped around 1(?) of the lakes. Many of the trails are shaded which was perfect for this mid 90s day, and the park was not crowded at Most people had masks down but pulled back up as others were nearby, we did likewise. I'm going to explore more of this overlooked gem, and I think a picnic on the lake when temps moderate. Towards the back of the one lake is a few well positioned benches( others scattered around the lake too) which we found perfect for quiet conversation and butterfly watching. I also look forward to returning in other seasons as was suggested by another review.

We hiked about 6 miles and when we finished there were more cars in the parking lot but not super crowded or anything. In the fall the trees are pretty and there is cell signal everywhere. Overall the trails are pretty easy to follow and shaded. You can get a decent workout since there is some elevation (our elevation map looks up and down and up and down, etc). Come Again? Yes! This satisfied my hiking cravings. In the area there aren't that many places to get a decent hike but this one is good.

Definitely a good place for kids. A couple muddy spots as expected after the rain but you're good as long as you have sneakers on. As soon as I started on the trail I saw four huge white tailed deer. Be on the lookout for them! There's a nice little bridge and some walkways all along the trails. When you get to the bridge you can continue into Rancocas State Park and walk for miles and miles more. However, that section is open to hunting so staying on the Nature Center side is a good idea. The trails are open from dawn to dusk. Check out the Center's website for the museum & store hours. They also have all kinds of events for kids and families. And nature yoga! Can't wait to go back here in the spring!

I don't like using the phrase, "hidden gem", but even though it's quite literally between a…read moreresidential area and I-295, this location is a unexpectedly nice, peaceful space to walk and view nature just minutes from the bulk of Mercer County's population. The name of the page should actually read "John A Roebling Park/Abbot Marshlands", as the surrounding marshlands and its trails make up the bulk of what you'll see, and provides a home for many of the creatures living at the park. It's perfect for a walk to help get in your 10K steps, and you've a great mix of wooded and marsh dwelling wildlife to view. The trails are smooth and easy to walk on. I especially like the trail on the Island portion of the park, as it's completely forested and you can easily walk the entire circular route without encountering another soul. If you're like me and prefer to walk in a park without encountering someone every 30-seconds, this is your place. I wouldn't say the park is quiet, the background buzz of cars on 295 is ever present, but with a breeze and rustling leaves, you really don't notice it unless you try to notice it. That said, if you're at the picnic area--which is actually pretty nice--you're going to hear the traffic. If you have questions about some of the wildlife you see there, the helpful people at the adjacent Tulpehaking Nature Center are very knowledgeable about all things fauna.

John A. Roebling Memorial Park is a quiet pocket of nature in an otherwise urban area, tucked…read morebetween the southeast corner of Trenton and I-295. The park is a good size, with about 3.5 miles of trails. It is part of the larger Abbott Marshlands nature preserve along the Delaware River. Roebling Park's central feature is the beautiful Spring Lake which has a trail looping around it. Waterfowl like swans and ducks can frequently be seen on the lake. The best times to go are in the fall, winter, and spring; humidity and bugs come out of the marshes in full force during the summer. Being an urban park, there are paths connecting directly to the street grid in several places. There are also a couple of entrances with dedicated parking lots. The historic White City Mansion, with its grand old stone staircase, is located by the Sewell Ave parking lot. Even on a nice day, Roebling is much less busy than its larger and better-maintained counterpart Mercer County Park, a 15 minute drive away. It's nice if you prefer a little peace and quiet while walking the trails. Unfortunately Roebling also feels a bit neglected by the county, with some litter and overgrown trails in areas. If it were taken care of better, it would easily be a 5/5 park.

It's very clean and soothing to sit on the trails and watch the wildlife, they have a kayak launch that looks pretty fun too but I haven't tried that yet! It's a relatively easy loop and it's well marked so you can't get lost (I have no sense of direction so bonus points for that!) they also host festivals here sometimes which are lovely I've been to a few for animal rescues in the past!
