Edison State Park — Attraction in Edison

Almost everyone around this quiet monument to Thomas Edison with a tower with a light bulb on top and off the side of the road assumes the museum in the tower's base is most if not all of the park. There is a bit more.

It is a short distance away from New Dover Road and Metropark. Other parks around Thomas Edison Memorial Park are mostly picnic, playground and sports type things. This is like a mini version of other, larger areas like places in nearby Clark. Like the recently closed golf course converted into park land or Echo Lake. Little easy trail to walk around, places to sit and some interesting nature sometimes that gives you an idea of what this area was like pre- suburbs. Not much parking in the one small...

If you happen to be in the area, it's a cute place to stop. Not much to see. There is an imposing monument with a light bulb atop. A small, I mean small, building with historical facts inside. There was a local class trip, so we didn't go in. The monument had plaques around it stating historical facts. The factual item missed, Tesla used AC current to light the word. Edison made the bulb. His stanch desire for DC current in homes started to cause his demise. His electrocution of an elephant, to show AC power's dangers, was the start of his downfall. Not much to see. Don't know what's inside that tiny building. The monument has a bulb inside with a plaque. The photo someone too.. well...

This is a place of unreal energy! I came to pay my respects to Edison because I admire what he’s done for the world. The park is small, but still carries monumental significance. I see people find that as a slight downside in the reviews, but ay, be glad you’re able to step your foot so close to one of the greatest inventors in history. People like Steve Jobs chose to be hidden so you won’t be able to find them at all!

I wish Uber drivers were more educated on places like this. They work in the area and have no idea how to get to this place. That’s a review for Uber for another day though.

If I get a chance, I will come here again for Día de...
