Very nice park with a cool walking trail around the reservoir. The trail connects to other local trails and to white clay.

Lovely park good spot to get the kids out and great spot for adults to take a nice scenery walk or simply a bike ride or hill run. I didnt see a ton of pull up bars here but aside from that very clean and great for a walk.

The Newark Reservoir, one of the best places for a walk or a run or simply to catch a breath of fresh air. Though located close to Newark Downtown, it gives you a feeling of getting away from the rush. I have been here so many times that I kind of know where to find the deers grazing and at what time I can expect the wild geese to fly in over the reservoir. Would recommend this place to all.

It was very relaxed, not too crowded. Beautiful playground. Great walking/running circle around the reservoir but you do have to walk up a steep hill to get to it.

Quiet, peaceful. Now has a playground next to the Reservoir Parking Lot for little ones. Perfect place to go for a walk. Quite a feat of engineering too (obligated to say as an engineering student, haha).

I enjoy riding my bike around the reservoir. There is a great view and there is always a breeze. It is also a great place for a walk.

This is also known as Prestons playground. It took a long time for it to be built, but was worth the wait. This is a very nice playground with some accessible equipment. There is plenty for kids to do and you can easily kill an hour here.

Its a scenic, quiet setting for outdoor activities like walking, jogging, biking and hiking.There is a well maintained, paved 1.1 mile path around the Newark Reservoir that is great for running. You must first make your way up to the top of the hill on a winding (about a 1/4 mile ascent) paved path. Then the fun begins.Bitds, butterflies, dragonflies ducks, geese - yup theyre all here. Paths are wide enough for users to pass each other in opposite directions. Theres a kids play area adjacent to and securely protected from the parking area. And there are two portable johns on site.Great green space.jimmythesafe

Nice park. Fairly steep hill to climb to get to the park. Wonderful view of the reservoir and the town. Very very windy by the water. Great for sunrise and sunset views. Cool woodland hiking trails next to the water.

Looks like an ideal space for the city to plant a large solar array in that empty field just south of Old Paper Mill Rd. How about it?

Beautiful place to run or walk. Biking is allowed too but the loop is small and I think one would get bored going in a circle like that pretty quick.
