Confirmed from Foschini 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.

What runners say about Foschini Park

Pulled from public reviews of this trail (405 of them) — the things people bring up again and again, in their own words. Nothing here is written by us.

well-maintained 5 mentions

“Always kept clean and you can even see the bald eagles as they fish in the river.”

🏞️ beautiful scenery 3 mentions

“The park was not very crowded and the fireworks were beautiful.”

Big wide open park right on the Hackensack river. Very popular with ball players as it has 8 or so baseball diamonds. There is lots of wide open grass areas for the kids to run around on. It also has kiddie playground and a pavillion. Limited number of picnic tables.

★★★★☆ — R , Aug 2018

Nice park by the river. Popular for baseball and sports. Has a walking track too but views of the river are limited. Park has ample parking but no proper toilets. Reasonably well maintained Portable washrooms are available though.

★★★★★ — Shahbaz , May 2022

Although they are doing renovations // some construction work, I really love this park especially on a nice spring morning!! It’s nicely maintained, lawn services are here this morning making sure of it! Beautiful place to take a walk or a stroll with a friend.

★★★★★ — Jesenia , May 2023

A nice park for children to play. I've mainly give her during the fireworks festival Hackensack hosts to celebrate Independence Day. It was great to see the firework show return in 2022. It's always been such a convenient walk for us.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
