Boland Park
Boland Park is a small, quiet park located in West Orange with a wheelchair accessible entrance and parking. It features a solid baseball field, a decent gated playground with swings and slides, and amenities like pickleball and basketball areas. While parking is available, it is narrow residential street parking. The park is suitable for kids and offers a peaceful environment away from busy roads, but it lacks extensive facilities and maintenance could be improved in some areas.
Reviews
Pros:
– Gated playground with 2 entrances to protect running kids.
– Dedicated parking
Cons:
– Narrow residential streets
– No kids during day time. Can be a bit creepy as it is very quiet and distant.
Nice surface/backboards/rims for basketball. Field is nice condition easy parking great playground on one of the nicest streets in West Orange !
Pickle ball courts have tennis nets.
I’ve lived in town for over 10 years and have never come across this very small park. It has a decent playground area but the baseball field is small and sits extremely close to a largely overgrown wooded area. This time of year it’s hard to watch kids play while you’re being eaten alive by mosquitoes. The town really needs to clean this one up. Would not visit again unless my kid has a baseball game here.
Not good enough for a large soccer practice, but solid baseball field, decent playground for the age group I coach. No actual parking lot can be a bit annoying, but there is enough space. The location is a little off the main roads, but dealing with no traffic is a plus, unlike a larger public park.
