    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!

    Great facility visited here for a USTA tennis tournament. Parking is limited, but they have…read moreextended parking options. There are restrooms within the park. They do have pickle ball courts. The surface of the tennis courts could be maintained well. They do have a hitting wall. I see a lot of dog walkers in the club.

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.

    My wife, Lisa, and I had a wonderful tour of the Mansion with our guide, Joan, today (May 21 2022)…read moreand we loved every minute of it. Joan was a first class tour guide - as was Stephanie who gave the upstairs tour. It's a beautiful house, built in the late 1800s, with many fascinating artifacts and pieces of furniture and the history of the house and the Kuser family are very well presented. I highly recommend a visit - not only to the house but also to the park which has a wndmill, fountain, clay tennis court built in 1912, caretakers home, carriage house, gazebo, laundry house and gardens.

HOWEVER, they don't even include instructions on how to mount them. I checked the website, then called the main office asking for instructions. All they sent me was a sketch of the lattice. I called the office back and asked for actual instructions and I was told they don't exist. Having a Walpole installation was not offered. I have an expensive contracting company here today trying to figure it out. Four people have spent two hours here and are no where close to getting them hung. Good quality but difficult! Sharon L.

I then received a quote for $17,000 dollars for ~80 ft of 4ft high fence. Basically, they were looking over $50/ sqft to install wood. After receiving the estimate it took a few days before I finally got an email response to my questions on how a fence could be that expensive. Having some experience in construction I merely wanted and understanding on how a fence could cost as much as some houses/sqft in certain parts of this country. Felt like the guy tried very hard to make it seem like his company was expensive because of their quality and the problem was merely my budget. After reading the other reviews that seems very unlikely. Hard to take a guy seriously when he tries to correct me that the material cost is more than just wood. He thought it included engineering and fabrication. Two items that are classic examples of labor cost. Beware others. Fences don't cost $50/sqft

    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.
