★★★★★Featured review by izzydentsrepair

Small park and nice to walk around. It has nice views of the river, benches where you can sit and enjoy the sunset. There was some kind of festival when we visited (Disney scheme) it was nice for our kids. Just be aware of some geese poop if you want to walk in the grass.

🏆 Family Action Verdict

Best for families with young children who want a scenic outdoor session combined with community events. The Friday evening concert series is the strongest draw — food trucks, live music, and riverside sunset in one visit. Watch for geese droppings on the grass when walking away from the paved areas.

“Very nice park it is smaller than I thought but the sprinklers seems like a great hit for the children. They also have a barbecue area and it seems like the park is very well-maintained. Will definitely go again.”

“I went here to a family cook-out and I must say, it is one the best places I been to for this type of event. I didn't experience bug attacks at all and it was very clean. From the pictures one could see that the view was excellent. There is also a nice cool breeze from the river to help keep things cool. I'm from New Jersey and if they ever have any function there again, count me in.”
