It is very nice place. One the most beautiful places I have seen in NJ. We saw a few eagles and deers.
Please when you go there don’t leave your trash or don’t throw it over the deck! There are trash cans there use it! Let’s help keep this place clean don’t just leave it to the staff of the reservation to keep this place clean.
Absolutely amazing views! Lovely area. Plenty of parking just keep driving around. Loved seeing all of NJ and NYC from across the way. It was amazing. Definitely will be back sometime. Worth the trip!
Absolutely breathtaking views of New York especially at night. An awesome weekend activity for you and your friends. Fair warning, do not come here alone. Be aware of your surroundings, I have seen on several occasions, people doing shady things. Be safe here, bring a buddy.
It has an amazing view, is clean, and the atmosphere is beautiful year-round. I had my elopement there—just 30 minutes, and I was married with this stunning view.
My g-kids and I came here during their spring break Apr 2025. This park has a great skyline view of Newark and NYC. Additionally, there are monuments to the events of 9/11 as well. There are several walking/hiking trails in the park that will exhaust your kids for the rest of the day.
