Kingsland Park — Attraction in Nutley

Kingsland Park in Nutley is perhaps one of the most scenic parks in all of Essex County, New Jersey. It has a lot of everything for everyone of all ages. At its northern terminus at Kingsland Street, there is a small part of the Third River with a mini waterfall that becomes part of Kingsland Lake, where most times you can spot people fishing or relaxing on one of the many benches that line the park. Spanning the entire length of the park, from Kingsland to Rutgers Place, a distance a at least a half mile you can traverse a path that is used for walking, jogging and cycling. The path is extremely well shaded and well maintained. Toward the southern end of the park, you can find a gazebo with tables for relaxing and having a little nosh, a little exposition area called The United Nations Garden, with a very nice tile mosaic of the world, followed by the playground, which has a larger than usual jungle gym and swings set.

Very nice park created on the bank of Third River. The third river, also known as the Yantacaw River, is a third tributary to Passaic River. Park is never crowded, and you will have a very peaceful experience, either walking, jogging, or biking in this park. In the middle of the park, there is a United Nations garden dedicated to the creation of the United Nations after World War II. The center monument contains a wonderful mosaic that represents the countries that comprise the United Nations. On the bank of River, you have benches for you to sit and relax, read books, or just enjoy the flow of water. Entire park is very well maintained. There is a man-made waterfall that poses immense photo opportunities for graduation pictures , weddings, or any auspicious occasion. Kudos to Nutleyites who thought of creating this park that many generations would enjoy. In the park, many bridges are there for you to cross river from one side to another. Restrooms are available close to the...

Relaxing and apparently safe for all the family. There are streams, bridges and overpasses for pedestrians. Ducks, mallards, birds and other park creatures roam free. The place could potentially flood in heavy rainstorm, for the terrain felt soggy the last time we visited as well as taking into account the proximity to the water brooks all around. This spring it was beautiful with all the cherry blossoming in white and pink. Bring your dog, but be prepared to pick up after each dropping. In some quiet days it could be an excellent place to read a book and/ or watch your kid play the slides, swings, jog around, bike, run with friends or play tag...
