John Russell Wheeler Park — Attraction in Linden

Need to be more vigilant about the time people can be in the park because we were in line and it was 100 degrees outside. I was there on July 1st.

Did I forget to add that it's free and there's free parking too...you...

Great park with a fairly large children's jungle gym, a full-sized soccer feld with stadium lighting, a skate park (the only one that I know of in the area) and lots of paved trails for walking.

Until 2017, there was also a nice picnic area with tables, grills, a community pool (open summer months only) which includes a diving board, small jungle gym and baby pool. Attendance has been steadily declining and they're removing the pool to make way for a state-of-the-art water park. It's supposed to be really big and full-featured, but the pool area hasn't even been demolished yet, so only time will tell how the new water...
