nomahegan park

My place to go to when I 'brown bag it', there's plenty of parking and plenty to do, walk, jog, walk the dog or just sit, relax watch the wild life and veg-out for an hour or two.

Nomahegan Park is a great place to walk, picnic, relax, play games, etc. Visit any time of year. One of the best times to visit is when they have the craft tents. Great things to look at and buy. The food trucks usually have a good variety.

This park has it all - baseball, soccer, playground, lakes, walking and biking trails. It's a great place to come for an hour or even an entire day with kids (at kids at heart) of all ages.

Nice to place to visit and unwind. Went there with co-workers for our company picnic. Nice pool area and a nice place for families to visit and have fun. Beautiful scenary. a little too small.

This park is spacious clean and usually ample parking. And if there is no parking in main lot. There are two smaller side lots around the corner and street parking available as well. All free. It has an area to picnic at with plenty of benches and tables. A couple of fields for baseball and soccer. A play area for kids with plenty of jungle gyms and swings sets. The path looping around the park is just aUnder 2 miles. It has nice views of the lake and woods. Some of the loop is on the street while some is on a paved path. All very easy to follow and not boring or tiresome. Even going over a nice foot bridge at one point. The bathrooms are kept pretty clean and light up nicely. It always has plenty of toilet paper and soap. Great place to walk dogs too! There are NOT as many wild geese at this park as there were a few years back . Nice shaded areas and benches around the water to sit and relax at. Overall one of the nicest parks in union county. A very safe park in the beautiful little town of Cranford.

Park has jogging/bicycle trails, bathrooms, fishing spots, ball fields, picnic tables & grills & nice playground. Parking can be a problem, except Sundays when you can park across Springfiels Ave. at Union College.

As an employee of a very nearby organization, I visit Nomahegan 3-5 times a week on my lunch break. It's always enjoyable and I really have no complaints. The park itself is huge, but I usually do a few laps around the main lake/baseball field area off Springfield Ave. There is a decent-sized parking area there as well as street parking on the other side of the lake. The bathrooms are surprisingly clean and spacious. The walking paths are always clean and clear, as is the lake. I frequently see township employees improving or cleaning the area. I just noticed today they now advertise free wifi, though I did not try it. The park extends, including a fitness trail section and a greenway section, and it is a great place to spend some time walking, biking, running, or even just sitting. The kids part looks nice and fun for younger kids. It feels very safe and family-oriented. There are plenty of picnic tables, benches, and places to stand over the water.

This park is across the street from Union County College which makes parking tight, at times. The park has a 2 mile walking trail with exercise stations along the way. It is charming and often has fairs or charity walks or 4th of July fireworks.

This park is one of my favorite places to take a walk. If you make the full circle around the outside of the park, it will take about 40 minutes. There is a lake, a river, woods, a playground and an area for picnics too. Clean rest rooms are available on the Springfield Ave. side next to the parking lot.Located across from the campus of Union County College, it is a safe park and connects with two other parks that have walking paths too.

Since I live in Cranford I visit Nomahegan Park often for its walking trail. I have also brought kids to the playground there. It is a great place to visit/play and has a nice bathroom on site. Good place to walk a dog (on leash). There are picnic tables and ball playing fields (baseball, soccer) but I think they may have to be reserved. Plenty of parking unless UCC is in session (althoughI think there may be a 2 hr. limit).

This park is relatively compact, but has it all: a 2 mile path for running, walking, bike riding, dog walking, etc.; a playground area with one section geared for small children and another for older children; picnic areas and ball fields; clean restrooms; a sparkling pond for fishing; and a parking area, with additional parking on the road in the park lined with homes; and lots of lawn area to just relax. My children regularly used this park when they were growing up and now my grandchildren are using it.

Walking trail. Nice playground for small and big kids. Fishing allowed. Parking area can get crowded.
