Confirmed from North Bergen 80th Street 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.
Park featuring a lake with fountains and a playground, along with picnic tables and a cafe.
What runners say about North Bergen 80th Street Park
“The park has been well maintained over the years, with some areas having been updated fairly recently.”
“It's scenic and peaceful here during the evening.”
“If you're looking for a peaceful place to spend some time with your family or alone, I definitely recommend it!”
Very nice and clean park to spend weekends with family. A huge pond with geese and turtles help make you relaxed. You can see people come here for jogging and picnics by the pond. There is also a huge kids playground, newly built and clean. Lots of parking space available and lots of places to sit and relax.
It's your typical park surrounded by a more urban setting.This park is a great place for families to have a picnic, go for a stroll, or just enjoy the outdoors. There is a lake with a paved path surrounding it. The park has a play area for children, including a watery area for those hot summer days.
They definitely cleaned up this park a lot! They have a monument dedicated to James Braddock and the surrounding area around it has plenty benches and a modern feel to it. It's scenic and peaceful here during the evening. They have soccer fields and baseball as well.
Great for a stroll during the day well lit and ample space to run or walk ... pet friendly although recommend using the nearby dog park Only downside was the conversation wrestling and public comments but it seems that no one really cared so they must be used to it I've lived here for most of my life I refuse to allow…
