Near Brookdale Park? I recommend to go to Holstein's to get probably the best homemade ice cream. So many flavors and toppings to choose from; and who can forget their homemade chocolates and candies!
A fantastic place to run - the outer loop is challenging. The track is in nice shape. Always lots of people to see and fresh air to take in. One of my favorite spaces in NJ.
Great locale for rollerblading, biking, running, walking, and just about anything else including baseball, soccer, frisbee, et al. I enjoy exercising here for the friendly crowd and pleasant scenery.
Designed by the same team that created Central Park in New York City this suburban Essex gem is a great place to power walk, join a football (er, soccer) game, or make use of the excellent dog park.
