I must have accidentally activated my GPS, but curiosity got the better of me, and I followed the directions, not knowing where I was going, until I arrived at this park.While I didnt explore the park, I did walk over to the small, enclosed dog park. It was very good to see the dogs interacting with each order, while their humans supervise.Perhaps, if Im back in the area, Ill check out the rest of the park.

Beautiful park. Nice neighborhood. Family oriented. Nice park for jogging, walking, reading and relaxing. Childrens playground is brand new, with complete renovations. Beautiful job. Playing fields for softball, soccer and Football. Walking distance from nearby Bloomfield shopping district on Bloomfield Ave and Broad Street, Bloomfield College, Bloomfield Station, NJ Transit bus lines 11, 28, 29, 34, 72 and GO28 and the Parkway.

Nice equipment but its not the cleanest park. Alot of garbage around. It would be nice if they had staff doing temperature checks for Covid-19 symptoms. The park gets overcrowded with children and adults.

Surprising gem of a park located alongside the Garden State Parkway on busy Bloomfield Avenue. This is a massive county park that continues back from Bloomfield Avenue to the Bloomfield-Glen Ridge-Orange border. The play park is newly renovated and done well, but don’t miss out on the bridge area over the stream, or the beautiful mature trees. Continue down Glenwood Avenue to a second part of the park across the street to the rest of the stream, cute little bridges, and charming lampposts along the walking path. We were there on a beautiful first day of winter 2019 watching the ducks as the sun was setting.

Childrens park. Very clean splash fountain park for kids. Busy but not overly crowded. Very clean facilites. Bonus was the free snack and lunch program for kids and families when we were there sponsored by the town if Im not mistaken. Very friendly environment. Son made a few kids there.

Super cute love the water sprinklers! Its a lot of kids that go there and some unattended so you have bigger kids doing silly things but its a nice mix of water and playground. Will visit again.

Nice water spray park with a playground right next to the water park. Bring a beach chair if you like to sit in the shade, plenty of benches but most are not by any shade.

This is a fantastic all access park! One of the best and biggest playgrounds I’ve ever visited. Huge variety of equipment to challenge even older kids. Great toddler areas as well. Although I did not see the water park during my visit, the regular playground had a mist area to cool the kids off which was great for a hot day

This is a very nice spray park ...its run by the city of eastorange and its free....I didnt really enjoy my stay because its not a smoke free facility....its easy to access and the kids loved the water but it was overcrowded....the city need to employ youths to keep the place clean and redirect the crowd

This park is always my go to when my family needs to relax, for the kids to play and make new play friends. I, personally often go there for a walk. My kids love it there and can play for hours and when to go home they always want to stay more. With the upgraded play ground on the other side of the park is great, we enjoy going there all the times and the ice cream truck that make his stops there add a plus to the fun after play! I like my neighborhood, so far safe for my family!

I exercise here, there is pretty much everything here. They have a water park on warm days, a playground, a track, turf grass and a basketball court, as well as plenty of trails for walking! This park is so awesome! There is a splashpark to play at when the days are hot in the summer. There is a playground that is large. There is a nice path as for walking. It is clean and safe to play at. I havent been there since I was a teenager, I to go and see the water park that was added was awesome. Growing up we just had the brook that ran through the park.

Big family oriented park with a play area for kids, plenty of room for outdoor gatherings; bring you own grills and accessories; mid-sized river for boating; paths for running, biking or a nice long stroll; for the most part crowds are respectful-Ive never had any problems. When visiting Ive always had nice experiences.

Nice water park, gets too crowded sometimes..not enough places to sit (best to take your own chair). They should not let children in without adults because a lot of older kids come and mess it up for the smaller ones who do have parental supervision.

Review №84

Being that it is such a huge park with plenty of space, they should have made the sprinkler part of the park 2 to 3 times bigger for the amount of people that frequently go there. Not enough room for the kids to have fun running around without hurting the smaller kids who arent as agile to react when bigger kids are running in their direction. But it is a fun park all around.
