Nice park, two sides. Awesome track, lots of people. The kids playground by the track gets very crowded in the summer with guys who are a little too old to be in there.

The track goes around the perimeter of the beautiful lake. Along the track there are stations where you can do various strength training exercises. Be sure to wear insect repellent because part of the track winds through the woods.

Great park to run. It is nicely paved. Just a few potholes and a flooding problem in one particular area. But this morning a little annoyed when one of the parking areas read GOLF parking only. With so many people trying to work out and Gyms closed that shouldnt be. And when I really think about it, golf is a predominantly white sport. That sign might as well said to me WHITES parking only.

I loved the fact that you can workout with different equipment or walk the full track or workout in the open grass field

I always thought of Weequahic park as an iffy place to visit given the high crime rates of the surrounding areas, but truth has it that its gotten MUCH MUCH better. The walking path is a little chewed up and can trip any avid jogger so be warned. The police presence is heavy, the sheriff is always nearby and ensures the park stays empty after 10 pm. Not a place you can go to at a late hour, cops will stop near you and question you.

This Park is Lacking in Water Yes Drinking Water, i Had a experience where i jog in the park and over exhaust my body i was looking for water and i could not find a fountain, non whatever, i ask and was told there was water in the Community Center but it was close at the time, if it wasnt for a good Citizen that drove me out the Park and I Thank The Young man so much to go out of is way for a total stranger he let in is car .So am appealing to whoever is in charge of the Park before someone Collapse please get water in the Park.And could you hang that sigh up that say jogger to your Right.

Best park in NJ, its multiple Baseball and Soccer Fields and an awesome Football field with an amaizing Track surrounding it. Also if you need more of a challenge in your track training,there is a rubberized surface exactly like whats on the Track, about 2.5 miles with hills all around the Lake in the Park. Excellent place to bring the entire family for sports activity.

I Was Pleasantly Surprised!! I have not been to this park in years. And it looked nothing like it looks now. There was even a peacefulness and calm about it. I will definitely be visiting this park more often when I want to go out to relax and get some air.

It was the yearly Memorial Day Weekend event. It was lots of fun for the kids and adults alike. There was a kite flying event, bouncy houses for kids of various ages, music, food. Free food for the children. A great incentive.The weather was perfect for the event.

Today, I had the opportunity to jog around the new track. It was my 1st time vising the park since the renovations. My only complaint, is there was some built up trash around the track. The maintenance personal should keep it cleaner. Ill continue to visit the track on a regular basis. I felt completely safe this morning.

Ive been coming to this park to workout for years and Ive always enjoyed the trail. The trail is rubberized and a little over 2 miles long with steep hills so once around usually gets my heart rate jumping. It also has about 4 resting stations that double as little workout areas - pullup bars, benches, etc. The trail surrounds a lake and every so often youll see swans but be careful, they will roll up on you. A lot of people fish in the lake too.

A beautiful park with running and jogging tracks. It has multiple playgrounds and lot of greens. There is a big lake that keeps the railroad inaccessible, which is good. Lately, I observed that people leave their trash behind. Authorities should do something about it.

Review №42

Weequahic Park track can be very beautiful if there was no littering in my view as I exercised...and if your maintenance employees would do a better job.. for example like picking up vehicle tires and alcohol bottles left in the woods...fix pot holes....etc...

I grew up in Newark and Weequahic Park was one of my favorite places to go as a kid. I used to love running up the stadium steps with my family and enjoying cookouts in the park. Although the stadium is gone now I love what theyve done with the park. The track is really nice the playground is nice and they have a cute fountain in the middle of the lake. Theyve really done a nice job restoring Weequahic Park and making it a great place for families
