It is a really beautiful trail around the Weequahic Lake, about 2 miles, no pet. If you visit here in fall, you would like to come back. Squirrels are everywhere looking for food without being disturbed by people passing by, sometimes you can hear their voices.

Sports complex w/ multiple fields. Walking path with awesome views of the water and nature. Nice spot for fishing and birding but No pets!! Exercise trail. Gave it a four because there was some litter on the ground. Will definitely visit again.

It's a very big park that from what I see certain areas are kept very nice And others places visitors just throw their garbage out of the cars. I rescued a cat that someone threw out of their car. And my girlfriend and I will put gloves on and pick up some of the garbage because it's too nice of a place to have people not care about it. You see some trucks go onto the grass and tear it up with their all terrain tires. It's really sad to see things like this in a park in the middle of Newark.
