Petruska Park — Attraction in Paramus

I have yet to explore the entire park as my kids LOVE the playground but so far, so good! The play area isn't overly huge (unlike Van Saun Park or Overpeck) but well-spread apart and covers large areas. There's a part made for smaller children closer to the parking area, and another for bigger kids towards the rear. The field is nice sized (which I never used), as well as the basketball court and a hockey rink (for roller blades, I believe). The local residents appear to be the main visitors and the "outsiders" are rarely seen, which contributed to the park being kept clean for the most part. The park occasionally hosts farmer's market, food truck, and other events (which I couldn't stop for any of) but I'd love to pre-plan my schedule to take my family to check them out.

Such a nice safe park. It isn't truly gated but is set back away from the road and is safe for runaway toddlers. It has jungle gyms that are age appropriate for 2-5, 5-12 and even adults can enjoy it. You can have a pickup game of basketball or even hockey. They have special events like Easter Egg hunts and holiday tree...

Quiet gem of a park. There is a 1-3 yr old section in the front of the park by the parking lot and a 4-9yr old playground towards the back past the baseball field. It's not huge but then it's not packed with people like Van Saun. Have only been there in early spring so we'll see what happens in...
