Beautiful park featuring a baseball field and a gazebo, plus picnic tables.

Very nice park created on the bank of Third River. The third river, also known as the Yantacaw River, is a third tributary to Passaic River. Park is never crowded, and you will have a very peaceful experience, either walking, jogging, or biking in this park.
