Veterans Memorial Park is a 17-acre park located on Route 46 East at Vail Road in Parsippany, NJ…read more(Morris County). The park's name says it all- it's a beautiful, clean and well-maintained memorial to our country's vets and the least we can do is honor them as such. The physical monument area at the front is lovely. If you're looking for a way to pay tribute, pray/meditate, or simply would like to take time to visit an area dedicated to all branches of our unstoppable military, then you will enjoy your time here. The memorial is situated to the immediate right once you enter the park. Past the Marine's crossing mini bridge over the brook, you'll see an artificial turf field to your right (very nice) and the natural field space to your left. There's a small outdoor fitness station here, a perimeter walk/run path, a gazebo/bandstand which is mainly utilized for events, and a small, more narrow paved footpath network within the perimeter to the left. This more narrow set of paths is good if the natural perimeter trail is muddy. There's also a playground here. Per the town website, this park offers: 1 Mile of walking paths Large bandstand Lawn area for summer concerts Multi-purpose, artificial turf, illuminated field Picnic shelter with electricity and a charcoal grill that can be reserved Stunning memorial honoring all veterans of our Armed Forces Head on over! It's a great park and wonderful tribute. Thanks to all vets and those who serve. God bless you.

Veterans Memorial Park is a very nice park here in Parsippany and is used throughout the year by…read morethe Parsippany Soccer Club (very nice lighted turf field), for a summer concert series, and for memorial services on Veterans Day and Memorial Day. They also have a nice 1-mile walking path right in the park...so when you just can't watch the 500th soccer game/practice for your kid, you can actually get some exercise. There is a beautiful memorial in the park honoring all veterans and the town does a very nice job with the ceremonies during the two holidays. The park is located across the street from a veterans cemetery and is pretty easy to get into on a normal day. For large events, parking and exiting is simply a nightmare unless the police are directing traffic, but that's really the only negative thing I can say about this park.

An amazing park we stumbled across when trying to find a playground for our child…read more This playground has 2 adjacent gated playgrounds, a gazebo, a drinking fountain, shaded seating, and a Porta Potty to serve small and big kids alike. The 2-5 year olds Toddler playground has rubber mats on the ground to protect your little ones from little falls. 1 play structure, 5 Rocking features, and 2 Toddler swings are available. The Motorcycle rocking feature with the side car, the giraffe bench, and the shaded bench in the play structure are pretty awesome and adorabeezle. The 5-12 year olds playground has wood chip ground cover. It is a combination of older plastic, rope, and wood structures that should keep your kids climbing and sliding in very original ways. They are even very fun for those who are kids at heart. 1 large play structure, 1 climbing wall, 1 see saw table, 2 standard swings, and a tire swing are available. A few of the really original structures in the 5-12 year olds playground are the gondola at the back and the yellow sliding "rings" in the front of the play structure. The gondola can be moved between two platforms by turning the crank. The yellow sliding "rings" can be used by holding onto 1 yellow "ring" on each of 2 tracks that are next to each other. Then you need to alternate balancing your weight on one "ring" while sliding the other one forward. (Imagine trying to peddle with your hands in the air.) It's tons of fun and probably a pretty good upper body and core workout. The drinking fountain is located near the entrance of the 5-12 year olds playground. A Porta Potty is located to the left side of the playgrounds for your convenience. The Bee Meadow Pool and football field are just across the parking lot which has lots of parking.

It's where you see hometown baseball games and where Food Truck fundraisers are held. Local Carnivals and Fireworks are also held here. It's where you can go and get your cardio on while you walk/run around the Park. Just recently I found out that in the Summer and early Fall months they have a Farmer's Market on Mondays where you can buy fresh fruits and vegetables. Many local 'up and coming' Bands have community concerts here at the Park. This place is a very cool park to hang out and be one with this outstanding Town.

It is so nice to see the change an updating over the last 10 yrs. You should of seen this place 10 yrs. Ago! What a mess!! Now they have redone a lot of it. There are new picnic tables, benches, bochie ball(not sure I'm spelling this right) the fields are green and the fence is updated. This park is perfect for a daily stroll, watching your children play sports, climbing on the jungle gym, reading a good book in the shade or sun& having a nice romantic lunch with your other half. This park is made for everything! It just depends in the day of the week and the time you come.

Black Brook Park is 11 acres of recreational area carved into the suburban woodlands of Whippany…read more It's a great spot for a bike ride, jog, or just getting your steps in thanks to it's paved path. You can also check out the smaller field and show your support as the local little league teams play baseball on the 60 ft diamond. There's also a full sized 90 ft diamond as well as lighted tennis courts, pickle ball, basketball, roller hockey, and volleyball courts.    In the warmer months they hold concerts and live events at the gazebo area and they also have a horseshoe pit which can sometimes get competitive. Not saying I'm a ringer or nothing but I have been known to throw a shoe now and again, just don't forget to bring your wallet Lol.    This park is always well maintained and clean and they're very serious about keeping that way. Dogs are welcomed as long as they're picked up after and there are restrooms located near the front parking lots. Come And Get Your Activities On!!

Per the township website and as is apparent once you arrive at this well-maintained, clean and beautiful park, it offers the following: Basketball court Bike and jogging path around the perimeter of the park Four lighted tennis courts Gazebo Horseshoe Pit Little League diamond (60 feet) Picnic area Playground Restrooms Standard size baseball field (90 feet) Tennis practice wall Tot playground next to the small diamond Two roller hockey courts Volleyball court Black Brook also offers a snack bar during baseball season, as well as picnic rentals. Even with overcast skies, it was great to be able to enjoy the fresh air and get the endorphins released today at such a pleasant spot. If you're a walker/runner, you may not find the perimeter of the trails adequate in terms of the stretch of trails (you can do multiple loops) but what's nice about this park is that you can venture into the very nice surrounding residential developments to get more distance in, with inclines/downhills. Great place to bring your doggie(s) too! They also have a nice little playground for the little ones. Check out Black Brook in Whippany!! :)

I have spent a LOT of time at Jannerone Park over the years and I thought it was time to give it a…read morereview... Jannarone was built a few years after we moved into town and is close enought for us to walk to for games and practices. When it first went in, we weren't happy about the lights and the whistles late at night, but we've grown accustomed to it over the years and it's just become background noise now. Our kids have played numerous soccer games here, our son is just finishing up his first season of lacrosse, and we sled here every winter so we know the park quite well and have gotten a lot of use out of it. The park itself includes a huge multipurpose turf field that is used for football, soccer, lacrosse, and field hockey. The turf is surrounded by a paved walking track (not a 'real' track) which is nice to have during practices that are conflicting with your gym time...five times around equals a mile here. The turf field also includes a nice scoreboard and an elevated announcers/videographers box. Across a parking lot there is also a decent baseball field set up for regulation play (60' 6" mound and 90 ft bases). Field is pretty nice, but doesn't drain well so it gets closed a lot after it rains-it doesn't get the use I thought it would, but it's nice to be able to use it with the kids for practice. Other facilities here include restrooms (heated in the winter) and during football games at least they also have a concession stand. For all the NIMBYs in my town who didn't want the high school fields turfed because they didn't want their lives disrupted I call BS. Having a lighted, turf field this close is great and has been a huge benefit to the kids in this town. Our HS teams deserve the same benefit.

I gotta tell you... I love this little park…read more First visit - okay, I dug it. Second visit - more time to explore and continually found new and interesting reasons to enjoy Essex County's seventh-largest park (I totally stole that tidbit from Wikipedia). Third visit - okay, okay - I'm officially smitten! A (small-ish) pond complete with locals fishing? Tennis and pickleball courts? Horseshoe pits? Bocce court? Paved trails (both in the main/open portion of the park as well as tucked-away under dense forest)? Baseball field (as a bonus - a group of kids always practicing cricket off to the side)? A tiny little spot consisting of parallel bars and (uneven) pull-up bars - for aspiring gymnasts or American Ninja contestants? An aqueduct (complete with a handful of little bridges to cross over) running throughout the entire park? A damn fine playground (with interesting and in-good-shape equipment) for kids (from 2 to 12 years old)? Plenty of tables (old-school picnic style as well as more modern/sleek)? Those clunky-but-sturdy BBQ grills that are drilled into the ground for you to use but can't take home with you? Rock cairns to find and admire while walking through along the tree-covered trail? A few strategically-placed water fountains to rehydrate and cool down? Plenty of Porta-Potties and trash receptacles (including freebie baggies so you can scoop up your pet's droppings)? A random deer (or doe) sighting in or near the park every single time I've visited? Yes! A resounding "yes!" to all of it.
