Located off Main Street in Stewartsville, NJ in Warren County

“Great park!!! Large grassy area for running….lots of swings and see-saws and slides…(one is too high…my kids know they can’t go on it) and they just put 2 new little tike brand, big, great climb on jungle gyms there. They also just installed a gazebo (great photo op!) and there is a very little stream for kids to wade in during summer. My children just wear water shoes and I bring a change of clothes with me for them. There is a horse farm adjacent to the park, so there is added excitement of seeing and feeding the horses (I bring carrots). We LOVE this park!” from Margaret
