Watsessing Park

I run 3k every morning here. Along with several others which we all have become track buddies. If your local come and take care of your health.

Nice Splash area for babies and kids.. Has a small water slide. Arrive early can get crowded toward the later part. Has shaded areas, chairs near sash pad. Being blankets chairs and snacks/food if you like for a family fun day

Never been to a park that had this much activities. The play area is full of things to play on and spend around on. Me as a parent enjoyed it as well. You can interact and play on the jungle gym with your kid.

8/9/22: Signs need to posted regarding mopeds and motorcycles riding in the park. There are several people who ride their motorcycles through the park during the late afternoons and evenings. 7/3/22: I have noticed the playground is open at night.The playground is not lit and absolutely black. Children are in the playground which can be a safety hazard. I have witnessed adults and teens hanging out at the benches and inside the playground smoking weed and drinking. I guess when someone is injured and files a lawsuit something will be done. 6/7/2022: Park would be much nicer if all visitors cleaned up after themselves. Cans, bottles, dirty diapers and other garbage laying in the grass within feet of a trash receptacles. Police presence needs to more visible in the park, especially after schools let out and in the evenings. Overall, a very nice park. Safe neighborhood. Family oriented. Nice park for jogging, walking, reading and relaxing. Children's playground has very nice renovations. Playing fields for softball, soccer and football. Walking distance from nearby restaurants, Accessible to Bloomfield Ave, Broad Street, Bloomfield College, Bloomfield Lackawana Station, NJ Transit bus lines, 11, 28, 29, 34, 72, 94, GO28 and the Parkway north and south and Bloomfield Police station is across the street

My boy loved this playground. Unique features, many spinning items and handicapped friendly accessories. The non playground was pretty large and filled with trees with a cool secret feeling passage that goes under the rail bridge and opens to a big open field. Pretty cool
