Nice , Big , clean , safely park . In winter has Ice skating, inside the pavilion there is ice skating for the little ones. Admission is $20 plus $5 for skate rental. Even if you don't go ice skating, I don't think that's right. Many more people would come to the fair and buy food. But now you have to pay $20 just to get in. There are also many vendors selling food and hot chocolate outside. There is a fair where you can buy jewelry, toys, and handmade knitted items. In the middle, there are gas burners where you can roast marshmallows. I recommend it.

Hands down my favorite walking park to go to year round. Always a delight to go and seeing the range of wildlife. Many birds come through especially near Walden Pond during the year!! Maintenance of the park is very excellent and pleasant to picnic here.

The playground is well-maintained, clean, and offers a wide range of play structures for kids to enjoy. There are swings, slides, climbing structures, and even a splash pad for those hot summer days. The playground is spacious, ensuring that there's plenty of room for children to run around and have fun. There are numerous picnic tables and grilling areas available, making it a perfect spot for a family gathering or a fun day out with friends. The park provides a beautiful backdrop for picnics, with plenty of shade from the surrounding trees and well-manicured lawns where you can spread out your picnic blanket. There is a dedicated dog park within the park where your furry friends can socialize and play off-leash. The dog park is spacious, clean, and well-maintained, providing a safe environment for dogs to run and have a great time. There are separate areas for small and large dogs, ensuring that all dogs can enjoy their time at the park. Overall, Van Saun County Park in Paramus, NJ is a fantastic place to visit. With its great playground, beautiful picnic area, and dog-friendly amenities, it's a perfect destination for families, friends, and pet owners alike. I highly recommend checking it out!
