Confirmed from Johnson Park - Grove 4'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.
Public and family-friendly recreational zone for walking and picnicking along the Raritan River and lake, plus a zoo.

Beautiful park to stroll through and very well kept. Have walked with my dogs and my husband. The trails are smooth and long. Plenty of space for kids and families to play and hang out for a few hours. So glad it's so close to us.
Scenic park. The zoo looks good, but I visied in the cold weather. Most animals were off site. Beautiful horses! Checked it out as its part of the East Coast Greenway
Went for scout carnival, kids had fun lot of green area to run and have fun around.
