1 / 3Van Saun County Park
đ Paramus, NY
Expansive county park combining a mini zoo, playground structures, summer splash pad, ice skating pavilion, off-leash dog park, and abundant picnic areas. Pram-friendly paths connect all sections.
đ Family Action Verdict
Families with children across a wide age range can fill a full day here without backtracking - zoo, splash pad, playground, and picnic areas occupy different park zones. Dog-owning families gain an off-leash run alongside the family activities. Winter ice skating adds a cold-season draw, and admission applies separately from general park entry.

âNice , Big , clean , safely park . In winter has Ice skating, inside the pavilion there is ice skating for the little ones. Admission is $20 plus $5 for skate rental. Even if you don't go ice skating, I don't think that's right. Many more people would come to the fair and buy food. But now you have to pay $20 just to get in. There are also many vendors selling food and hot chocolate outside. There is a fair where you can buy jewelry, toys, and handmade knitted items. In the middle, there are gas burners where you can roast marshmallows. I recommend it.â
