This is a beautiful park during the fall season. My children took their photos for our annual…read moreChristmas card at this card. There is a nice pond in this park, as well as some walking and running trails. If you are looking for an adventure I'd definitely take a stroll around this park.

We were in the area and looking for a nice spot to relax and take some photos. I looked on Google…read moreMaps and saw this park nearby. I saw that there was a nice pond in the middle (great for photos) as well as some walking trails and a few tennis courts. We just happened to have our balls and rackets in the car so this was a bonus. We arrived and were surprised to see that on a nice sunny mid-afternoon Saturday, the place was practically empty. We first drove around the loop looking for what was available. We found the gated tennis courts (3 Courts) that were empty. We went in and knocked around a few balls for about half hours before we decided to walk further around the park. We saw a father and son (presumably) that were fishing which was nice to see. There was a large gazebo in the park as well, which could possibly be rented for occasions. (I know many parks have that option) We snapped some photos around the pond which came out great but be mindful that as with every pond, there are lots of bugs lurking. So don't forget the bug spray. The park was very well kept, I was impressed. There were a few trails that presumably lead to the eastern end of the park but we did not take them...maybe next time. Overall we had a great time at this park. A nice place to play tennis, walk, run or fish?! (I am not sure if a license is required). Enjoy!

There are benches throughout, a reasonable amount of geese (not too much poop throughout), picnic tables, a pavilion, a dog park if you desire, turtles, fish and it's all simple to walk. It's flat with everything centered around the pond. There are trees for shade, plus plenty of sun. It's always been a great time here. Take a couple loops around the pond, sit, relax, you'll go home refreshed. There's a small walkout deck that could be ideal for fishing. I've seen sunnies, but imagine other fish dwell here too. Joggers, walkers, dog walkers, thinkers...many come here and take it all in, yet it never feels crowded. Enjoy and...just watch out for the patches of poison ivy!

They have one and tandem kayaks to be rented by the hour, they provide life jackets and help you launch and get back to the dock. Then they explain where the boundaries are and let you have at it. It's a fun way to spend a summer afternoon, even if you aren't experienced. The waters are pretty calm, and it's a good upper body work out. If there's not parking nearby, there are other lots. So depending on what you're looking for outdoors, this is a nice oasis for the otherwise very urban areas in North Jersey.

New Overpeck Park 40 Fort Lee Rd…read more Leonia, NJ 07605 This 811-acre park does not compare to the liveliness and energy of other large parks such as Central Park or Van Cortlandt Park, but there are still many ways to stay occupied. The trails are on wide, level black pavement. It's a perfect time to take a stroll either individually, with family or friends, or with a domestic pet. While walking, I highly recommend wearing sunscreen and/or a hat. Drink plenty of water because there are minimal trees leading to no shade on the trail. If you want to get your heart rate up, go for a jog or bicycle ride. Multiple benches are stationed throughout the trails. Or, you can always bring your own lounge chair or blanket to find a quiet spot to sit and chill. It's a great place to set up a picnic while admiring breathing taking views of the Manhattan Skyline. During the warmer seasons, the Overpeck Park Kayak Center is open. Feel free to rent a canoe or kayak and paddle the Overpeck Creek. In addition to boats, the Kayak Center also rents out fishing rods for prospective anglers. However, a valid NJ freshwater fishing license is required. To avoid any fees, all visitors have the option to bring their own equipment. A fairly large playground is on site for younger children. They may play on the jungle gym, swing set, climbing webs, and slides. There are multiple parking lots available throughout the park. Some of them have an EV charging station for electric automobiles. Overall, this park is pretty decent and it's great to spend a couple of hours on a spring or summer afternoon. #thenewoverpeckpark #newoverpeckpark #overpeckcreek #leonianj
