Confirmed from Riverside County Park Joseph Carucci Area'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.
Open space along the Passaic River with a dog park, picnic facilities & sports fields with a track.
What runners say about Riverside County Park Joseph Carucci Area
“Clean park Spacious Ample parking available Lots of benches present There's only one set of washroom present, which too was locked, when we visited on Saturday (around late noon).”
“Great park for exercising, running, biking, playing in the fields & photoshoots !”
“It is really clean and all of the dog owners are very friendly.”
Very nice. A couple of areas need some updating/roof’s fixed. But overall a nice place to take your dog for a walk!
I love this park! I love walking along the paved smooth pathway while enjoying the river view. This park is clean, quiet & comforting with sounds of children playing & laughing in the distance or the cheers from a sporting event in the fields.
Moved to Lyndhurst 3 years ago and have been visiting this park every weekend. The grounds are well maintained, the baseball field is brand new and clean. The boccie ball courts are a nice addition. The dog run has been renovated within the last year. Great place for a quiet walk and enjoy nature.
Super cute park ! Nice fields & great children’s play ground. We did a real estate shoot here && it was awesome (aside from the freezing weather). Great park for exercising, running, biking, playing in the fields & photoshoots !!!!!
