Confirmed from Mill Creek Point 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.
3 acres of green space along the Hackensack River with a boat ramp & wildlife, plus a 43-acre marsh.
What runners say about Mill Creek Point Park
“If you want to have a nice outing with the family and your pets, it is the place to go with beautiful scenery as a bonus”
Not much but good place for kids to sho cause of playgrounds. Good place for a nice long walk. So random never knew this was here. People fish and kayak here also.
Very nice place hidden in the neighborhood. Great for an evening bike ride or walk. Pleasant sunset view
Absolutely beautiful park. It has two playgrounds, one for bigger kids, one for smaller kids (though it's still fun for older kids). They even have a small ropes course next to one of them. There's also a "playground" for dogs. There's a walking trail and benches and picnic tables, plus a restroom.
It's a great walking area for the locals. I really enjoy the fall look of the tall reeds and snip its of nature you see here (birds, fishes, and just so much)
