Foote's Pond Park — Attraction in Morristown

An absolute find for nature lovers with a little... or more, time. Short trail along the pond but you have a spillway along a really interesting bridge, a gorgeous garden, a lovely butterfly/flower garden and also a dock area that is picture perfect. Not the biggest park on the block but it packs a punch in all the right ways. Kudos to whomever maintains this lovely spot. I was able to find a moment of peace in a busy week. There is resident owls as well but I did not spot them (just their home). The pictures should show you all you...

Small but lovely little park. This year (2021) they did a major overhaul of the pollinator sections, which resulted in a very attractive and complex selection of flora, but seems to have resulted in far, far fewer butterflies.

They also apparently increased the water level in the pond which flooded a small stretch of ground that was favored by quite a few migrating shore birds. Overall, these changes were a big swing but a miss for me and other bird and butterfly fans. Hopefully they will review the changes and plan...

A small quaint quiet park with easy to traverse trails. There has been a recent renovation to try to increase and attract pollinators which means there are very pretty flowers around. The pond itself is home to several turtles. It's a nice spot for a short easy walk...
