Confirmed from Christopher Columbus Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Wide-open and clean park featuring a playground and a baseball field.
What runners say about Christopher Columbus Park
“The best place in Passaic nj to enjoy whit my family and neighbors too, please let's keep it nice and clean .”
This park is a fun place to come to have family time or if you just wanna get out the house to take a walk alone and enjoy the summer breeze. The park has come a very long way in repairs of what it use to look like back then.
Great park for kids and adults. They have a good playground with fences around it for the safety of the kids. And a wide open field for sports. Also a good place to walk your pets.
Very spacious family friendly park....for the kids or to play on the football field or jog around the track....parking is closeby...and there seems to have police presence nearby.
This is where my workout warm-ups start with 50-yard bear walk sets of three to the outer perimeter. This is before the gym workouts.
