It’s a great park. Best playground around. Great pond with lots of fishes. Few grass field with lots of space. Excellent pickle ball and tennis courts. It would be great if there were basketball court and maybe a splash pad. Very few picnic tables, so not a great place for birthday parties or picnic. Still great park with some room for improvement.

Very nice park with playground and
nice little stream. And afternoon walk would be amazing here.

Very nice park that is well maintained. I haven't experienced the entire park, but the walking paths are paved. Playground is not near the road or parking area, so a short walk is needed in order to get there. Playground was clean and fully fenced around with one gate. It is directly across from the restroom facilities (open limited hours). Porta potties are available when facilities are closed. I didn't see a parking lot, but street parking is available in designated areas. Speed limit on the road is low, but does pose a concern whne loading children in & out of vehicles. No sidewalk along the road side of the park, so you have to walk in the road or in the grassy area before getting to a paved path within the park. Overall a very nice park and I would return there again.

We threw our daughter's birthday party there with about 50 guests and it was pretty fun. Everyone had a good time!

Nice park with short walking trails. The pond is great with birds, fish and turtles. The playground is nice and bathrooms are well maintained.

Quiet, small park in Essex Fells. It has a short loop and tennis courts. Always peaceful - highly recommend !

Nice quaint park. Beautiful wooded paths, nice pond for fishing and large fields for outdoor activities. BBQ pits with tables to eat on/ enjoy the beauty. Kids play ground w/ interactive structures for kids.

Beautifully designed park by the same men who designed Central Park (as well as the other 20 parks in Essex County). My family and I regularly enjoy walks through here. The Katsura trees are our favorite due to their form and the smell of cotton candy they release when their leaves are wet. We also enjoy watching the water birds on the pond.

Now, there are frogs in the pond due to the water plants. It's a great feeling to hear them.
