    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

    It's very clean, nice trails, friendly people, a few excercise bars to work out on. I meet friendly active people.

    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.

    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'm intrigued. Went today... cool spring afternoon. Hidden near refinery and landfill. Where do I…read morebegin? Quiet. Erie or peaceful? I think both. Creepy? A little Hidden? Very Unsettling? Kept looking back and around for other people. Saw a small family, a couple, a man and baby son, a lone guy, a guy with a bike. Still kept looking around. Path: mostly boardwalk and pebbled paths. Tall grass and trees doesn't let you see across path. Path has shade from trees. River/creek/marsh: it was dry, low tide. Didn't see any wildlife there. Smells salty. Tall deer fence: I guess to keep the deer off path? Pretty sure deer can go around it. Signs posted along path with information. No dogs allowed. Views: not much. Lots of tall grass and trees. And the landfill mountain. Very insulated. I wouldn't go alone. You can't see in or out. Poison ivy EVERYWHERE!!!!! Don't touch anything! I did like that there are lots of birds and you can hear them all. It's very quiet and has a good nature feel. I will go back to explore more. I think there needs to be more patrol or surveillance cameras.

    Super cute, recently completely renovated, clean park, including spray grounds and playground!…read more Adorable playground and seasonal spray ground park including restrooms, shaded picnic area with picnic tables, gazebo, bridged pond and further off away from the playground you'll find a soccer field, baseball field and basketball court. *Seasonal Spray ground! 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.
