    Not very exciting. Only real walking opportunities are around one long loop with maybe one off branch with fitness things. Also can barely see the river in the majority of the area.

    Been coming for s few years. Beautiful park. Packed on Sundays of families bowing, birthday parties, pool parties. Great for a stroll and to see the water fowl

    Nice local park. Very large. Nice path along the Rahway river. Plenty of spots to bbq. Several softball fields.

    Great place to run or ride your bike. The pond is a good place to spot random animals - frogs, turtles, ducks and even swans.

    Sunsets are absolutely gorgeous against the open plain and baseball fields, not to mention the beautiful foliage during the different seasons.

    Definitely a hidden jam. Great place to read a book, hike, meditate, take pictures and nature…read morewatch. So peaceful. The day I went on a warm winter day I heard no gun shots from the shooting range nearby. Hardly anyone is around. The walkway, trail and broad-walk for sure is clean but outside into the marsh land you may find garbage of soda bottles. Lots of trees, fallen trees and lots of birds chipping everywhere. It's less than a 2 mile hike. Don't worry they have benches in the area. This is a must see, must experience park. Bring a bottle of water, binocular and camera. Only one porta potty in the area - the entrance where you parked. Lots of fork in the area but it all leads to a loop- can not get loss even if you wanted to. Enjoy the peacefulness!

    Glad I went to this place for a walk , and bird viewing . I looked up google reviews and found this…read moreplace . Location wise it's not the best , but inc you go in , it's Ana amazing place to walk . Parking is a bit small but does fit 20 cars ! The entrance is through a road which is deserted ! I just loved the trial walk . The wooden path is just amazing ! The overall walk is about 1.5 kms per loop .. so 2-3 loops will give you a 5K .. you can also divert off the wooden walkways and walk on the gravel to the back of the Rahway River /lake . Good bird sightings . Saw good ones and could take pics . I also saw woodpeckers but could t take pics ! Loved it overall . Very good place .

I am also so happy that Wheeler park welcomes everyone from all over NJ (and elsewhere). Coming from out of the county will cost you a bit more, but not much. If you live outside of Union County it is $4.00 for kids ($2.00 in county) and $6.00 for adults ($3.00 in county). This splash pad has every water feature a kid could ever need - from bigger twisty water slides, to a small dragon water slide. Also, water guns that you can shoot each other with, a pirate boat, water shooting up from the ground, and much more. My kids spent a little over 2 hours here and had an absolute blast. We've been here about 3 times and it never disappoints. Just be sure to bring some sort of shade covering. There isn't much cover at the splash pad so we usually bring our small beach tent with us. There is also a dry playground in the splash pad gated area where kids can play too. They have staff who help keep the kids safe and to make sure everyone goes down the water slides safe and sound. I highly recommend Wheeler Spray Park on a hot summer day.

They allow you to bring food and lay blankets of the grass! Great day to bring the kids for a fun in the sun day and to wear them out lol! Its a county park so u have to pay a small fee at the gate.

Rule of thumb for the spray ground - if the blue and white umbrella is up and open, they're open. Two attendants work at the spray ground daily. Spray ground water is always consistently running - and kids are not fighting over water. (To conserve twp water, water is not running unless patrons/attendees are present) -Wear a swimsuit and bring a towel! -Bring clothes to play at the park after water play! Located at the corner of Carteret Avenue and Cypress Street in Carteret NJ.
