1 / 3Overpeck Park Playground
📍 Ridgefield Park, NY
A large Bergen County waterfront park with a well-maintained playground for all ages, waterfront walking trails, kayak launch and rental, open soccer fields, and free EV charging. Free entry and ample parking across multiple lots.
The park has a huge array of kids attractions in the playground. Vending machines and bathroom on site. The only con is that you really need to bring your own shade if you plan on a pick. The water nearby does give it s great feeling
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for families who want open-air variety — playground time, waterfront walking, and paddling — without admission cost. The playground suits a wide age range, and the waterfront trail is flat and pram-accessible. Families with older children or teens can extend the visit with kayaking.

“I absolutely adore the expansive openness of this park, a welcoming haven for a wide array of recreational activities that cater to both the young and the old, not to mention our furry friends. It's a vibrant space filled with laughter, playful chatter, and the joy of exploration. One of its highlights is the specially designed thoracic park, where children can immerse themselves in the fascinating world of dinosaurs. Here, they can marvel at lifelike models and engaging exhibits that ignite their imagination while learning about the majestic creatures that once roamed the Earth. This park truly embodies a perfect blend of enjoyment, education, and connection with nature.”

“This is a big park with things to do for everyone. There are walking trails all along the water and around a large open field that is nicely taken care off by the county parks. There’s an area when you enter the park where you can rent kayaks or launch your own. There are soccer fields for the athletes and the play ground for all the kids. During the summer they have a snack bar open near the soccer fields and also have bathrooms available. There is plenty of parking in several different parking lots. I also enjoyed the trails on my bike and my daughter on her scooter. Enjoy the great outdoors.”
