This is a beautiful and serene place to come unwind and enjoy nature in the suburbs. The park has four different access to points to enjoy the beautiful waterview. The cherry blossom trees, native plants, shrubs, animals and insects add to the beauty of this park. In my opinion, the best times to enjoy the park's peace, serenity and beauty are on a weekday afternoon and evenings while most are at work. The park has a lot of signage throughout that provides you with an education about the history of the park. The spillway affords a breath taking view, sound, and feel and a must see!

This is small park but it’s great for a walk or to sit down and eat lunch. I’m looking forward to fish here. Great place to take you dog for a walk we had fun.

The cherry blossom trees, native plants, and animals add to the beauty of this park. The best time to enjoy the park's peace and beauty is on a weekday during the afternoon.

Piscataway, with funding assistance from the U.S. government in 2016, has really developed this area of Columbus Park (same name as other public areas about the pond) beautifully with rain shelter/gazebos, and well landscaped grounds at the western end of New Market Pond. There is ample parking. This is a good meeting point with nice views of the pond, the fountains, the man-made waterfall/spillway at the western end, and the geese, ducks, and egrets which can be seen regularly practicing take offs, water landings, and ice walking in winter. Photographers also have numerous opportunities under the big sky and over the water. For athletic activities, head over to Columbus Park's 200 11th street courts, fields, playground, and picnic area...now available since 2016. All of Columbus Park is open daily "from dawn to dusk". Enjoy!
