The park is situated right by West Orange High School. There’s a nice playground for kids. The walking path, however, is not ideal. You are able to walk around a lake, which is nice, but it dos not connect as a full circle. It just kind of comes to an end on one side. That same path is awkward to walk on because it’s slanted. If walking is your goal I would not recommend. If you’re looking for a relaxing place to sit it could work. I also saw some kids fishing.

This is a beautiful park! There is a pond, a pavilion, a small playground, tennis courts, a nicely groomed baseball field and a walking path. The path does not completely circumvent the pond, but turns into a grassy path.
