Parque 80 — Attraction in North Bergen

You can do it all! Grew up going to the playgrounds, and during the summer the water park adjacent to it. You can have a family bbq, watch older men play bocci ball, and even watch an intense game of basketball at the courts. It has a track & football field which is also shared with the local high school. Next to it is a dog park for both small and large breeds. Large baseball/softball fields, tennis courts, and wall ball court. Now there’s even a farmer’s market on the weekends. During the winter time this is the best park to be at. Don’t have a sled? Just grab a garbage top from the park and use to slide down the best hills. You can walk, jog, or run around the large lake with fountains. Other activities include, biking, rollerblading, skateboarding, and flying kites. This is Jersey’s best kept secret, and Jersey’s very own Central Park.
