Confirmed from Finch 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.
Small park featuring playground equipment and a giant sand box for kids.
What runners say about Finch Park
“The park is always clean, setups are properly maintained, sandpit is clean and sandpit toys are always available and in good condition if you don't bring your own.”
“The view is beautiful and pleasant.”
“The playgrounds were well maintained and very shady.”
“They have 1 train for all ages, 1 castle and 1 pirate ship for kids who can climb, etc.”
Really nice park. It has a few baseball fields and a couple of basketball courts. The playground for the kids, which is fairly well enclosed, has good running space and features a rather large sand pit. Every so often the NJT train comes by. Plenty of fun to be had by the kids.
Very Nice playground for the kids ball fields. Adequate parking gravel walking path along the rail trail next to the railroad line
