Albion Memorial Park — Attraction in Clifton

Albion Memorial Park is one of Clifton's hallmark recreation spots. It has three baseball fields for play. One of them, at the corner of Maplewood and Elmwood, in the southwest corner of the park, is named for Clifton's first Major League baseball player, Ed Sanicki. Sanicki came up to the Philadelphia Phillies in September of 1949, and in his first at bat in the majors, homered of Rip Sewell. He would have two more hits in the majors that year, but both of them too, were homers, making him the first Major Leaguer to accomplish that feat (3 home runs for first three major league hits). Another is named for Henry "Hooks" Browser, one of the founding fathers of Clifton youth baseball. In addition, there are tennis/pickleball courts, a small playground for the kids, and a small walkway, well shaded...

I am so grateful for the new tennis courts. I was really fearful that they were going to take them out of the park when they first began to fix them. I've be going to Montclair. Maybe next time a sign to alert the neighborhood of your attempts to better or parks. Otherwise...

This park was pretty awesome! There is a baseball diamond, a huuuuge field, a half basketball court with an adjustable backboard, there is a large play ground there as well! I would definitely come back, especially if they added a skatepark. There are also tennis courts...
